Interesting quote from Walton Brown in today's RG Magazine article entitled "Inside the UBP":
"Right now, the only issue is independence. If the UBP were real smart they would say they want an election on the issue and they would probably win it". Merely gaining a 'no' vote at the referendum for which they are campaigning, won't win any electoral advantage, argues Mr. Brown.
True. The UBP would probably win an election run on independence. The flip side however is that they'd be setting a precedent that runs directly counter to their point of principle that independence is an issue that the electorate are entitled to vote on directly.
