FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Prime Minister David Cameron will travel to Scotland on Thursday for talks with Alex Salmond about the independence referendum, British media reported.
The date was announced after Salmond, the head of Scottish National Party (SNP) met the Scottish secretary, Michael Moore, for discussions.
He said there were still two key areas of disagreement between his SNP administration and Westminster – first whether or not the ballot should also give Scots the option of backing greatly enhanced powers for Holyrood, known as “devo-max”, and second whether 16- and 17-year-olds should be entitled to vote.
The Scottish government has said it wants the vote to take place in autumn 2014, but Moore said he still wanted it to go ahead “sooner rather than later”.
Moore said he and Salmond had agreed about the use of the Electoral Commission in an independence referendum.
“I think it is right that the first minister should say that we made progress, and I welcome the fact that the two of us were able to sit down and look at how we can make sure there’s a referendum that is made in Scotland for the people across Scotland and that it is legal, that it is fair and that it is decisive”, Moore added.
“Where we agreed was on the way in which we could transfer the powers to the parliament here in Edinburgh and on the use of the Electoral Commission as the usual referee, using the regular rules to oversee the process”, he noted.
“There are still differences – those are around timing, about who should vote, and also about how many questions there will be – but I’m sure that if we keep working together, if we reflect on what people across the country are saying to us, we will get an outcome”, said the Scottish secretary.
Moore said he wanted to explore the possibility of delivering the referendum “sooner than the Scottish government has set out” .
However, Salmond added that he did not anticipate any agreement between Holyrood and Westminster on the issues until after the consultations being staged by both governments.
