Responding to the latest poll about the union, Scottish Liberal Democrat Leader Nicol Stephen MSP has called for more powers for the Scottish Parliament.

Nicol Stephen MSPMr Stephen said:

“This poll has failed to ask about the option which is most popular with Scottish voters: the Liberal Democrat policy of giving more powers to the Scottish Parliament without separation.

“Securing more powers for the Scottish Parliament does not mean a separate state. It means a new, modern settlement for Scotland as part of the UK, based on more federal principles.”
