itemprop=description content=THE “age of the referendum is over”, according to the former chief strategist of the Yes Scotland campaign.
while first minister, said: “So I think it tells us that we’re in, we are in a new era of Scottish politics, I think the age of the referendum is over.and this by-election result, they all point in the same direction, we’re entering a new phase in Scottish politics.
“And so I would advise my party to get into that particular current and I think there’s lots of fertile ground for the SNP in that current. “It’s a temporary reprieve. We have a breathing space offers us and we should use that breathing space to add to the powers of the Parliament, because it’s the Parliament that protects us from bad Westminster Tory decisions, so being able to add more powers to the Parliament, whether they’re over employment, whether it’s some additional tax responsibilities, energy, a range of different possibilities.
“And so the SNP is at its best when we’re arguing for independence but when we’re also arguing for the Scottish Parliament to be as strong as possible. “ Sir Tom Hunter a few weeks ago was arguing for additional tax responsibilities, job-creating powers, so we should be looking to engage with these people, seek alliances with these people.”We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
