Referendum question about independent Scotland should be one direct ambiguous question approved by HMG & requiring ‘yes’ or ‘no’ answers, NOT fudging
For referendum to be meaningful and for UK Parliament allowing the possibility of Scotland becoming independent, HMG should approve of the referendum question. The referendum question could be ‘Should Scotland leave the UK to become an totally independent country of her own’? The question at the referendum should be one direct ambiguous question about whether Scotland should leave the UK, requiring ‘yes’ or ‘no’ answers. This is because asking woolly questions, requiring woolly answers (like ‘but’, ‘if’, ‘maybe’, ‘perhaps’) would be open to wide interpretation and would be fudging the issue.
