The Government may tackle Alex Salmond, First Minister and Leader of the SNP on his plans to hold a referendum on Independence from the Union, in 2014, ( the seventh centenary anniversary of the gruelling Battle of Bannockburn in 1314).
Feudal groups at that time were represented by English and Norman interests.
The Government representing England would like a trade off of referendum options. Salmond has been seeking a devo-max referendum option, in which all powers except defence and foreign policy are devolved. Westminster wants a straight yes or no to independence.
Salmond jumps upstream
to spawn a referendum,
Bannockburn in mind.
