banterman86 Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Don't understand why Cameron wanted the referendum held in September 2014. Seems the long campaign is not doing his project fear any favours. He should have held it sooner...... Did he? I'm sure it was an SNP pledge to have it in the second half of the Parliament, and the Unionist side were calling for an early referendum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xbl Posted December 19, 2013 Author Share Posted December 19, 2013 Where does it say he did? Well you said that Cameron got everything he wanted in the Edinburgh agreement, and that us Scotch got done over. So its something that YOU said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Our support for renewable generation, combined with energy efficiency measures, will help protect Scotland's consumers by keeping energy prices down in the long term." The data also revealed that Scottish renewable electricity made up 36 per cent of the UK's renewable energy generation in 2012. The figures confirm Scotland continues to be a net exporter of electricity, exporting over a quarter of generated output Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H_B Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Surely Cameron got everything he wanted in the Edinburgh Agreement. No? Yes. All Cameron was worried about was whether it was a 2 question referendum. Once the SNP signed up to that he was beaming, knowing it was a done deal. As it's proving. He left the rest to Salmond. "It (the Edinburgh Agreement) also gave power to the Scottish Parliament to pass the legislation that would determine the timing, franchise and wording of the referendum question."

So he didn't get everything he wanted then? If he did he would have got the timing of when referendum is held as it's proving to be problematic for him. Having to wait till 2014 could be a defining moment as to who wins. If he didn't believe that to be important then he's made quite a massive blunder.
