Mad_jock: No misapprehension on my part. The white paper is a manifesto. Each measure can only be enacted when approved by parliament. That process can only start after a yes vote. The negotiations following any yes vote would be carried out under the terms of the Edinburgh Agreement. It would be nice to be able to offer more certainty to the electorate than the current manifesto but the UK government refuses to pre negotiate. So we are where we are and people will need to decide which side they trust more as each side develops their case. This is how democracy works. May the best side win.
