On the face of it he certainly seems to have a moral argument. Only six (of 11, currently) F1 teams would have representation, with five permanent seats and the sixth being the highest non-quintet team in the Constructors (Lotus, at present).
He asserts this is to pave the way for customer teams, which sound like a bloody awful idea.
Norman Smith tweets: Scottish Govt may send out a "Prospectus for Independence" to Scottish voters
Will that count against the 'spend' for the referendum?
Will 'Better Together' get to send out a similar document?
They send out packs of lies on a daily basis , we don't need any more from those clowns. Perfectly acceptable for the elected government to give the Sottish people information on the referendum. Better Together can use their donations from foreigners to pay for their garbage.
Then presumably you would have no objection to the elected government in Westminster doing the same?
This tactic doesn't surprise me, its an attempt by the SNP to try and get their chosen edited 'highlights' of their White Paper directly to Scottish voters bypassing the MSM. I have no problem with that as long as its a direct mail drop clearly labelled and funded by the SNP or the Yes Campaign. What concerns me is Norman Smith suggesting that the Scottish Government many send out a 'Prospectus for Independence', that really would be a misuse of the SNP's position in Government. This could yet be another sign of the recent fracturing of the Yes campaign in different directions.

Bollocks the Tories are spending countless millions bombarding us with papers that are blatant half truths and lies. No are using millions from foreign donations to do the same and you the brass neck to say the elected government of Scotland cannot send out information regarding the referendum, what planet do you live on. As for Fracturing of Yes , you could not make it up , dream on.
Buy two thirds of Royal Mail, get the other third free.
"The Government allowed its financial advisers to "defraud the taxpayer" of between £750m and £1bn over the sale of Royal Mail, the chair of the Business, Innovation and Skills Committee, Adrian Bailey, has said."
The Royal Mail share price has received criticism, but compare them with Google:-
Google went to IPO on Aug 19, 2004 at $85 per share.
By Sep 1st 2004, that share price was $130.
Today Google shares are at around $1000.
So, was Google sold too cheaply?
Or is that how IPOs go.
Labour. Out of touch with reality.
Idiot , we did not own google, we did own Royal Mail. If google owner wanted to sell his company cheap that is his choice , Tory toffs filling their pals pockets with our assets is nothing like the same.

The UK does own Scotland though, malcolm.
IPOs may sometimes be underpriced but they are a good deal more profitable than ceding independence through a referendum.
Perhaps he has only just moved to joined up writing from capital letters.
"Delegates, we are entering a new chapter in our nation’s history.
In less than one year’s time the people of Scotland will have the opportunity of a generation.
That opportunity on September the 18th 2014 is this:
TO BUILD A PROSPEROUS COUNTRY
TO CREATE A JUST SOCIETY.
TO BECOME AN INDEPENDENT COUNTRY."
The stark contrast with the other parties is amazing , they had sparse attendance with sea of empty seats. SNP have a fully packed hall, says it all.
Is that cos they locked the doors. To his credit, Salmond has given Sturgeon the hospital pass. Am looking forward to seeing Salmond's face when Scots vote No in larger numbers than he expects. But even if he loses, he can blame Nicola, and remain as FM, and max out his devolution powers.
"The SNP has had eighty years to work up its independence position so it is surprising that it has taken them this long to produce their White Paper. Let's hope the wait will have been worth it.
Scots deserve answers based on fact, not assertion. In areas like pensions, financial services, defence sector jobs where they would have the power to act, the Scottish government should answer the detailed questions about what independence would mean."
Anas Sarwar:
"When will our first minister stop acting like he is in opposition and realise he is in Government? This speech was all about the powers he wants, not about what he will do with the powers he's got.
Scotland remains on pause while the nationalists dream up goodies for the referendum campaign that they know they won't have to deliver on."
LOL , quotes from two absolute duffers, Sarwar can hardly remember his name and Carmichael is just a windbag and a lying one at that , typical LD , calls for SoS to be scrapped and then takes the job , only an LD could do that.

@VMcAVSKY: Alistair Darling - former Chancellor and leader of @UK_Together - talks Scottish Independence tomorrow on @SkyNews #Murnaghan</blockquote
That should be a laugh, we will hear the stuttering as soon as the lies start flowing. His video interview with Alan Taylor for the Scotsman must have been a good one , hidden in the cellars and never to be shown.

Or did you just call them names?
They have no arguments, that is the point. It is verbal diahorea, it has been well stated when the white paper was coming so if that is the best Carmichael can come up with they should have stuck with Moore and as for the drivel from the other one , it is just puerile like most Labour pronouncements. Labour shout about SNP stating policies and when they do the idiots say they should be shutting up about their policies, some argument.

Cameron said the referendum is none of the UK's business and should be left to Flipper to handle. Wonder if he advised Flipper to make sure he had a jumper on . I wonder how long he will be able to hide behind the sofa.
Perhaps he has only just moved to joined up writing from capital letters.

Hammond would be a safe pair of hands if still in govenment, but he does not look the type to do 5 years hard graft as leader of the opposition.
What leads you to think this?
Neil
It is just my perception , that after you have had years in government as a cabinet minister in your fifties , you do not want to do 5 years as LOTO, especially when you have other qualities to use elsewhere.

Toby Helm @tobyhelm Labour has 11% lead in Op/Obs poll. Lab 38 (+2) Con 27 (-2) Ukip 17 (+2), Lib Dems 9 (+2). Cameron lead on personal ratings also narrows.
Of course informed PBers know Cameron doesn't have a lead at all on proper leader ratings
Looks odd.
Are you sure Opinium prompts for the Conservatives?
