Devo headache

Oh great. Calton was still trying to get his head round devo-max and now we also have devo-plus to consider. It's enough to make you want to emigrate (preferably to somewhere sunnier). Calton suspects politicians are just trying to confuse bloggers like himself. They will certainly confuse the electorate. Calton had first-hand experience of the 2007 election-night disaster where automated systems struggled to cope with thousands of spoilt ballot papers and the one thing it demonstrated was that a significant percentage of the voters are as thick as mince and can't follow complicated ballot instructions to save themselves. So, the moral of the story is - keep it simple! No second question on the independence ballot paper, no mention of devo-anything, just independence yes or no. And please can someone come up with a better name for devo-plus! (Suggestions in the comments field welcome.)
