According to the Better Together campaign over a quarter of the pledges in the SNP Scottish Government's independence proposals, such as those to retain the pound and continue existing pension arrangements, may not come about if there is a 'yes' vote in September's referendum as they would require the agreement of third parties outside of Scotland such as the UK and the European Union, which, of course,may not be forthcoming.
But even the other pledges would require the agreement of the Scottish Parliament and no one can predict, in practice, which policies will be followed if there is a 'yes' vote because of the resultant changed patterns of Scottish politics and the uncertain financial situation. .
The SNP's argument would be more believable is it focussed on constitutional change rather that mixing it with party political campaigning.
