Have your say in your own words

Alex Salmond has a cheek to say that the Westminster consultation on the Independence Referendum is discredited just because 25% of the respondents used boiler-plate text supplied by the Labour Party website. At least they bothered to respond and were not anonymous, unlike a number of the respondents to the Holyrood consultation on the same subject, which the SNP were prepared to accept until Labour pointed out the potential for rigging the vote. It really seems that the SNP will grasp at any excuse not to listen to anyone whose view differs from their own. Their attitude is also a bit rich given that their own website contains suggested text for responding to the Holyrood consultation on the referendum. So, Calton's advice would be to ignore that and send in your own response to the consultation, a link to which can be found here.
