Devolution Commission Damp Squib

After David Cairns recently setting his face against the devolution of broadcasting to Scotland, we now have Des Browne refusing to accept the notion of the Scottish Parliament having legislative competence over its own elections.

It seems to me that this whole unionist commission to discuss the devolution of extra powers may turn out to be a bit of a damp squib.

Looks like the UK cabinet will rule out every conceivable area that might be devolved before it even has its first meeting!
