UNIONISTS ADMIT "DESPAIR" AS LIB DEMS DISOWN UNION
MORE CONFUSION FROM ANTI-INDEPENDENCE PARTIES - 7thJan2012
The anti- independence parties became more confused today as a Tory member of the Welsh Assembly claimed unionists are in "despair" over Scotland's progress to Independence and called for a federalist state. His comments come after Nick Clegg yesterday sought to deny he was a "unionist", whilst the Scottish Secretary claims to be a "home-ruler".
The comments come from David Melding, the Deputy Presiding Officer of the Welsh Parliament.
SNP MSP James Dornan said
"The anti- independence parties don't know if they are coming or going. One minute they are defending the union the next they are in despair and pretending they don't support the union at all.
"The problem for the anti- independence parties is that they do not know what they stand for. People across Scotland have a very clear vision of a country with the powers to grow its own economy, tackle social inequalities and bring an end to nuclear weapons in Scotland. The anti- independence parties are far behind that vision.
"And with Nick Clegg calling on UK politicians to take a back seat, David Cameron insisting on joining the debate and Labour torn between attacking the Tory government or forming a coalition with it this latest intervention will simply cause more problems."
