Praise for this book

'The devolution referendums of 1979 stopped devolution but only for a while ... The 2014 Scottish independence referendum saw a No vote, but the outcome was enhanced devolution for Scotland and a stronger independence movement than before ... we need to be careful about claiming that referendums are always conclusive, even when they involve binary choices and seemingly clear results.' Peter Lynch, from the Introduction
