"So all they have to do now Allan is Govern and Govern successfully"

Well of course that is true but they already have been governing for 4 years. As to the finances well they are restricted to what the funding is - they can only decide where they direct it. So it depends on who the people of Scotland choose to blame for tightening purse strings. The Scottish Executive or a Tory government in Westminster actually controlling overall spending. I wouldn't think the Nats would necessarily take all the flak. I think it is a sensible option to look for more fiscal autonomy by strengthening the Scotland Bill first. We all know in the end that it is the people of Scotland who will decide if they go for actual independence or not. The Nats understand that. They are democrats. But I think whatever happens decentralisation will increase further.
