Scotland The Growing Divide Reviews

SCOTLAND: THE ROAD DIVIDES:

As a response to the `national conversation' initiated by Salmond this is an important book, and coming from a former Labour heavyweight it is, in its way, remarkable. It virtually concedes that the party that has dominated Scottish politics for the past 30 years, has lost its way, and that the old ideologies no longer count. - THE TIMES

[McLeish] has emerged as an advocate of a much bolder approach to devolution than many in his party seem ready for. - EDINBURGH EVENING NEWS

They are particularly scathing of Westminster's response to the debate... The authors note that the initial response was to point out that Westminster could take back powers from Holyrood. - THE HERALD
