More like *fanny* la rouge!
I suppose there should be a thread.
I'm not particularly interested in the extra powers in themselves. I don't think this process can create anything like the opportunity for wresting advantages from the political classes.
But it's instructive that the media is not pressing the process's "guarantor", Gordon Brown, to explain why his promised "as close to federalism as you can get" is not being delivered. He said on other occasions it was "federalism in all but name".
That's what he said the process the No parties all agreed on would deliver.
Is this really as close to federalism as you can get?
The powers that were shelved:
