‘Yodelling’ policy 22/1/13
Sirs,
In his appearance on Andrew Neil’s ‘Politics Show’, where he made his vital contribution to the Orkney and Shetland independence debate, the Western Isles MP, Angus B MacNeil put forward the interesting suggestion that – following the Referendum of 2014 – Scotland could be divided into ‘cantons,’ being governed in a similar way to Switzerland.
This is clearly a system well suited to that nation, as it possesses a great variety of languages – such as French, German, Italian and Romansh – as well as mountain ranges that were impassable until recent times.
