´óÏó´«Ã½

Is it a good idea to give the Scottish Parliament more powers? The Scottish Secretary's backing the Calman Commission's proposals to give Holyrood more control over taxation. That means we could end up paying different income tax levels from the rest of the UK.

But, to quote Bruce Forsyth: should we go higher or lower?

Many argue that a lower tax regime could boost the Scottish economy by giving us a competitive advantage over the rest of the UK. Others will argue that we need to higher taxes in order to boost our public services. Would you be prepared to pay more?

And more generally, do you think Calman's proposal reprsent a new chapter for devolution... or another step towards independence?
