the pre-vote purdah
Interesting you bring this up
rab-k. Should the vote go YES I wonder whether there will there be a similar version of pre-independence day "purdah" in place (from the 18th onwards)?
Speaking from a purely military point of view would the MOD be permitted to re-locate any assets (and even any personnel
) from or to an independent-in-waiting Scotland? Would any pre-planned re-organisation / moves planned for the next 18 months or so have to be stopped until negotiations are complete? Whilst the SNP have declared a future iScotland will be nuclear free I'm sure they will wish to use Trident/Faslane as a bargaining chip of some sort.
Clearly this subject is relevant across all of the public sector (civil servants etc) but as this is the military board.....
PS And I'm sure the Duke of Rothesay is happy at becoming a grandpa again
