Tonight on Newsnight Scotland, Ian Davidson's Commons committee is | 0:00:03 | 0:00:06 | |
adamant you just can't have a second question in an independence | 0:00:06 | 0:00:11 | |
referendum but are they right? We will hear from the experts and the | 0:00:11 | 0:00:16 | |
Electoral Commission on their role in this. Good evening. The House of | 0:00:16 | 0:00:19 | |
Commons select committee on Scottish affairs under the | 0:00:19 | 0:00:24 | |
chairmanship of Ian Davidson has issued a report, this time saying | 0:00:24 | 0:00:27 | |
there's no sensible way to have a second question referring to more | 0:00:27 | 0:00:30 | |
devolution in an independence referendum. The committee took | 0:00:30 | 0:00:37 | |
evidence from a variety of belittled -- political scientist | 0:00:37 | 0:00:41 | |
but first, Jamie McIvor reports. Someone who actually wants a second | 0:00:41 | 0:00:49 | |
question? The SNP's position is it wants a straight yes/no question | 0:00:50 | 0:00:53 | |
and so do all three of the main Unionist Party but the SNP also | 0:00:53 | 0:00:57 | |
says that it acknowledges that there is strong support in Scotland | 0:00:57 | 0:01:07 | |
0:01:07 | 0:01:12 | ||
for that second question on devo- The Scottish Council for Voluntary | 0:01:12 | 0:01:15 | |
organisations and the S T U C both think there should be a debate | 0:01:15 | 0:01:23 | |
about options for the constitution but the S T U C say that depends on | 0:01:23 | 0:01:27 | |
things. We are are consulting on the sort of Scotland that they want | 0:01:27 | 0:01:30 | |
to see with our members and that will include whether an enhanced | 0:01:30 | 0:01:34 | |
devolution settlement, one were Scotland has significantly more | 0:01:34 | 0:01:38 | |
powers, is a key part of that discussion. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:41 | |
What we have made that decision and taken that view, it will be time to | 0:01:41 | 0:01:44 | |
turn ourselves to the question of whether that question and how it | 0:01:44 | 0:01:49 | |
should be put. That is not clear to us that the referendum easily | 0:01:49 | 0:01:52 | |
avails itself to a third question that we certainly do not believe | 0:01:52 | 0:02:02 | |
0:02:02 | 0:02:04 | ||
The Scottish affairs committee at Westminster believes that Scottish | 0:02:04 | 0:02:09 | |
governments have got no mandate for a question about devo-max. Busy in | 0:02:09 | 0:02:11 | |
view is that the Scottish people have voted for a separation | 0:02:11 | 0:02:16 | |
referendum. They do not have an all-singing all purpose referendum | 0:02:16 | 0:02:20 | |
mandate under anything to do with the constitution because then | 0:02:20 | 0:02:24 | |
people of Scotland voted in the referendum in 1997 for Westminster | 0:02:24 | 0:02:32 | |
to have responsibility for devolution and they also voted for | 0:02:32 | 0:02:37 | |
Westminster to enhance devolution, not anything else. Some political | 0:02:37 | 0:02:40 | |
scientists believe a second question would present significant | 0:02:40 | 0:02:44 | |
difficulties. For instance, ensuring the result which was fair | 0:02:44 | 0:02:49 | |
and decisive. Though others believe a second question could be achieved | 0:02:50 | 0:02:53 | |
technically if there was the political desire to do so. Some in | 0:02:54 | 0:02:58 | |
the Unionist parties believe that the SNP's edging towards a second | 0:02:58 | 0:03:03 | |
question is an insurance policy. So if independence is defeated, the | 0:03:03 | 0:03:07 | |
SNP might still win substantial new powers for Holyrood. On the other | 0:03:07 | 0:03:13 | |
hand, some nationalists do not like the idea of a second question | 0:03:13 | 0:03:21 | |
thinking that it will make the Independent less likely. But there | 0:03:21 | 0:03:25 | |
are also people who believe in some form of devo-max and think that a | 0:03:25 | 0:03:31 | |
vote in favour of it is the best way of securing action. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:34 | |
The Electoral Commission is a public body charged with advising | 0:03:34 | 0:03:39 | |
government on electoral matters. John McCormick is the commissioner | 0:03:39 | 0:03:43 | |
for Scotland. And this curious if you have any role at all in all | 0:03:43 | 0:03:50 | |
this? But the UK Government and the Scottish Government - and let it be | 0:03:50 | 0:03:54 | |
known that they would like us to know that they want us involved in | 0:03:54 | 0:03:57 | |
the referendum process once it begins. Both have made it very | 0:03:57 | 0:04:03 | |
clear that with regard to the question, it has been made clear. | 0:04:03 | 0:04:07 | |
No formal request because the timetable has not been reviewed yet. | 0:04:07 | 0:04:13 | |
But in all this kerfuffle with slagging each other rough weather | 0:04:13 | 0:04:16 | |
there are variants of the referendum and whether they are | 0:04:16 | 0:04:19 | |
legal, you don't have any role in that? We presume that if a | 0:04:19 | 0:04:24 | |
government asks us to advise them on a referendum, that their legal | 0:04:24 | 0:04:29 | |
advice is sound. Right. It is up to them. You do not have a role on | 0:04:29 | 0:04:33 | |
that? This thing on testing, this is a fairness of the question. | 0:04:34 | 0:04:39 | |
yeah. Explain how that works. If the Scottish Government comes to | 0:04:39 | 0:04:43 | |
you as as we know that Alex Salmond's Bay Ridge question is do | 0:04:43 | 0:04:46 | |
you agree that Scotland should be an independent country? He would | 0:04:46 | 0:04:51 | |
contest that question? We would tested. We did last year for the | 0:04:51 | 0:04:55 | |
referendum on Wales, powers for the assembly and for the parliamentary | 0:04:55 | 0:04:59 | |
voting system would be a be a referendum and we tested the | 0:04:59 | 0:05:03 | |
questions given to us so we take a question from a government, we have | 0:05:03 | 0:05:08 | |
it tested, the process takes about 12 weeks and then we have | 0:05:08 | 0:05:10 | |
recommendations and it is a matter for Parliament to accept the | 0:05:11 | 0:05:14 | |
recommendations or not. You have got an obligation to certain bodies | 0:05:14 | 0:05:20 | |
to do that, have you? Under the Act set up with the Electoral | 0:05:20 | 0:05:24 | |
Commission, we have a duty to run referendums which are set up an | 0:05:24 | 0:05:29 | |
established by the UK Government, by the UK Parliament. That act out | 0:05:29 | 0:05:38 | |
by us what we do in relation to the referendum. we run it and test the | 0:05:38 | 0:05:43 | |
question. Two different ways that there may be a referendum with the | 0:05:43 | 0:05:49 | |
Scottish Government and the Scottish Government were also | 0:05:49 | 0:05:55 | |
thinking that under section 10 of the Act which could mean we advise | 0:05:55 | 0:05:58 | |
them on a referendum. Both governments have said they would | 0:05:58 | 0:06:02 | |
like us to be involved in testing the questions so we anticipate the | 0:06:02 | 0:06:05 | |
question testing process will be the same, whatever the legal | 0:06:05 | 0:06:10 | |
statutory basis. To make the simple and get this clear, what you seem | 0:06:10 | 0:06:14 | |
to be saying is that in the eventuality that they cannot agree | 0:06:14 | 0:06:18 | |
with each other, the two governments, and the Scottish | 0:06:18 | 0:06:21 | |
Government decides to do a referendum on its own without the | 0:06:21 | 0:06:28 | |
section 30 powers, you could still be involved? yes. To you could be | 0:06:28 | 0:06:34 | |
still involved in helping on the referendum? Yes. The Scottish | 0:06:34 | 0:06:37 | |
Government has made that clear in general terms so we have not had | 0:06:37 | 0:06:41 | |
any specific recommendations but in general. | 0:06:42 | 0:06:45 | |
What are the Scottish Government came to you and say we would quite | 0:06:45 | 0:06:49 | |
like a two question referendum, here's what they are. Would you be | 0:06:49 | 0:06:54 | |
obliged to test that? That is what we do. We take the questions from | 0:06:54 | 0:06:57 | |
the Government questions from the Government and we test them. | 0:06:57 | 0:07:04 | |
Whenever they give us legal tests. So we could have a situation where | 0:07:04 | 0:07:08 | |
there is still no agreement in London and that in Edinburgh over | 0:07:08 | 0:07:15 | |
whether a two question referendum is legal. Yes. But you could be | 0:07:15 | 0:07:21 | |
testing the questions? The us. A how would you go about doing that? | 0:07:21 | 0:07:28 | |
-- yes. How would you go about doing that. It may take longer if | 0:07:28 | 0:07:31 | |
it is two questions but the established framework is eight | 0:07:31 | 0:07:35 | |
weeks of testing with focus groups, One 2 One testing with it | 0:07:35 | 0:07:40 | |
individual voters and that can be quite intense because you have got | 0:07:40 | 0:07:43 | |
to make sure you have got a cross section of the public involved in | 0:07:43 | 0:07:46 | |
that testing, qualitative testing so it is quite detailed and | 0:07:46 | 0:07:54 | |
rigorous. He must test across the country, to gender, literacy levels | 0:07:54 | 0:08:04 | |
0:08:04 | 0:08:09 | ||
and so on. Bolt of people -- lot of We were wanting a question that | 0:08:09 | 0:08:13 | |
uses direct language and people can understand it. When people put | 0:08:13 | 0:08:19 | |
their take in a box, or a cross in a box, they have a clear | 0:08:19 | 0:08:23 | |
understanding of the outcome they are voting for so we must test the | 0:08:23 | 0:08:26 | |
question with focus groups, qualitative leap with the voters to | 0:08:26 | 0:08:30 | |
make sure that they understand the question. One week tested the | 0:08:30 | 0:08:35 | |
question for the Welsh referendum last year, we discovered that | 0:08:35 | 0:08:38 | |
report and recommendations and redress to the question which was | 0:08:38 | 0:08:42 | |
accepted by the Government and the Assembly Government's and | 0:08:42 | 0:08:50 | |
So they could reject your recommendations? Given that you | 0:08:50 | 0:08:55 | |
have not been asked yet, you do not need to go all international | 0:08:55 | 0:08:59 | |
diplomat on me, you have no view on whether they favoured question of | 0:08:59 | 0:09:04 | |
Alex Salmond is a fair one or not? We do not have a predetermined view, | 0:09:04 | 0:09:10 | |
you are not surprised I say that! You do not opine on the question, | 0:09:10 | 0:09:15 | |
that devalues the currency. I am curious about your views on a two | 0:09:15 | 0:09:19 | |
question referendum because you were quoted in the opinion poll | 0:09:19 | 0:09:24 | |
produced by the House of Commons Scottish affairs committee, and I | 0:09:24 | 0:09:27 | |
did not understand what they were saying. They quoted you're saying | 0:09:27 | 0:09:32 | |
something along the lines that the problem was that there could be | 0:09:32 | 0:09:36 | |
numerous out comes to a two question thing. What were you on | 0:09:36 | 0:09:41 | |
about? We do not answer hypothetical questions. We were | 0:09:41 | 0:09:44 | |
asked a range of questions in the committee which were hypothetical. | 0:09:45 | 0:09:49 | |
We take the questions and say you cannot presume if there a two | 0:09:49 | 0:09:52 | |
question that there are only two possible outcomes. You must work | 0:09:52 | 0:09:56 | |
out because on the basis on the number of outcomes and designate | 0:09:56 | 0:10:00 | |
the league campaign organisations for the referendums witches and the | 0:10:00 | 0:10:04 | |
as the Commission does, but they are more complicated. We must not | 0:10:04 | 0:10:09 | |
presume until we see a question and tested that there are only two. We | 0:10:09 | 0:10:14 | |
do not prejudge. But ours is an evidence-based process and we go | 0:10:14 | 0:10:17 | |
with impartiality and tested and then we discover how many outcomes | 0:10:17 | 0:10:21 | |
there are, what people begin to the question and what the get the | 0:10:21 | 0:10:24 | |
question to mean and that is why the questioning is rigorous and | 0:10:24 | 0:10:31 | |
takes eight weeks. Could a comeback in theory and say... Go to come | 0:10:31 | 0:10:35 | |
back in theory and say a two question format of a referendum | 0:10:35 | 0:10:39 | |
seems to work, we have tested it and people are clear and you get an | 0:10:39 | 0:10:44 | |
answer which can be relied upon. Or could you come back and say that is | 0:10:44 | 0:10:49 | |
a bad idea, it does not work we should think of something else? | 0:10:49 | 0:10:52 | |
I'd rather as a possible but there is no predetermined out, that is | 0:10:52 | 0:10:57 | |
why testing is so important and that is why this is a decision for | 0:10:57 | 0:11:01 | |
Parliament. In last year's referendum, we came up with three | 0:11:01 | 0:11:05 | |
redrafted questions and a big bases as to what we thought there could | 0:11:05 | 0:11:09 | |
be changed and then suggested an alternative and both of those cases, | 0:11:09 | 0:11:19 | |
0:11:19 | 0:11:20 | ||
The Commons Scottish Affairs Committee took some evidence from | 0:11:20 | 0:11:25 | |
leading political scientists in academia. Here is a flavour of how | 0:11:25 | 0:11:31 | |
difficult it is to pin down the idea. | 0:11:31 | 0:11:37 | |
It would be very arts, in an instrument designed to discover | 0:11:37 | 0:11:42 | |
what Scottish people think, to exclude the option that they most | 0:11:42 | 0:11:46 | |
favour. What we are now coming to is an | 0:11:46 | 0:11:51 | |
understanding that as the terms of this potential referendum are being | 0:11:51 | 0:11:55 | |
redefined a week to week and day today by the Scottish Government, | 0:11:55 | 0:12:00 | |
and I do not blame them for that, there will be an element of pic in | 0:12:00 | 0:12:06 | |
a poke. We know what's known means that we | 0:12:06 | 0:12:11 | |
are not quite sure what Yes means. If you were to have a post | 0:12:11 | 0:12:15 | |
legislative referendum, it is conceivable you could get a Yes | 0:12:15 | 0:12:20 | |
majority the first time around and say no majority the second time | 0:12:20 | 0:12:24 | |
around. We first of all have a be straight, | 0:12:24 | 0:12:29 | |
clear question that everybody seems to want. That is do you want | 0:12:29 | 0:12:35 | |
Scotland to be independent or not, yes or no? Beat -- then you can | 0:12:35 | 0:12:40 | |
then have a question which says if Scotland remains part of the United | 0:12:40 | 0:12:44 | |
Kingdom, see you want to have devolution Macs or have the status | 0:12:44 | 0:12:49 | |
quo? I am joined now by Professor John | 0:12:49 | 0:12:58 | |
Curtice and Professor Jim Gallagher. Jim Gallagher was secretary of the | 0:12:58 | 0:13:02 | |
Calman Commission and wants us to stress that he is not here to pay | 0:13:02 | 0:13:07 | |
speak on behalf of the committee but as an expert. | 0:13:07 | 0:13:12 | |
Do you think you can have a three option referendum? | 0:13:12 | 0:13:18 | |
It does provide severe obstacles. First of all, there has to be an | 0:13:18 | 0:13:21 | |
alternative. It has to be a proposition that would work if it | 0:13:21 | 0:13:26 | |
was voted for and then you have to go over this technical difficulty | 0:13:26 | 0:13:32 | |
of how do you decide how to add up the results in a three question | 0:13:32 | 0:13:35 | |
referendum. You are a bit more pro it? | 0:13:35 | 0:13:40 | |
Yes, there is no doubt that there are technical issues about | 0:13:40 | 0:13:43 | |
conducting a two-question referendum or choosing between | 0:13:43 | 0:13:49 | |
three options. I think one has to balance those risks against what we | 0:13:49 | 0:13:54 | |
might consider the purpose of the referendum. I would argue that an | 0:13:54 | 0:14:00 | |
ideal outcome from this referendum is the week to reach a point where | 0:14:00 | 0:14:03 | |
we resolve Scotland's constitutional status for the | 0:14:03 | 0:14:07 | |
foreseeable future. If we simply have a referendum which is | 0:14:07 | 0:14:12 | |
independence verses the status quo, that referendum will fell to | 0:14:12 | 0:14:16 | |
resolve the issue because it looks as though the potential. A | 0:14:16 | 0:14:21 | |
consensus around which we might be up to build a majority in Scotland | 0:14:21 | 0:14:27 | |
is not either of those options but devolution Max. We could have the | 0:14:27 | 0:14:31 | |
referendum and a decisive result but failed to resolve the issue. | 0:14:31 | 0:14:37 | |
We will come along to the more substantial issues in a moment but | 0:14:37 | 0:14:43 | |
on that technical point, let me be read to use John Curtice's proposal. | 0:14:43 | 0:14:50 | |
You say, to you prefer independence are remaining in the UK it? That is | 0:14:50 | 0:14:54 | |
the first question. This Scotland remains in the UK, to you prefer | 0:14:54 | 0:14:59 | |
the status quo or more devolution? What is wrong with that? | 0:14:59 | 0:15:04 | |
Are the ways of doing it, that is just about the second best option. | 0:15:04 | 0:15:13 | |
I take that as high praise! It is high praise. People have | 0:15:13 | 0:15:17 | |
different orders of preference. To do the arithmetic, that there are | 0:15:17 | 0:15:22 | |
six ways you could put that in order. People might want devolution | 0:15:22 | 0:15:27 | |
first, independence first, and so on. If you only have two questions, | 0:15:27 | 0:15:32 | |
what ever the words are, there are only for possible set of answers. | 0:15:32 | 0:15:40 | |
You cannot match everybody's answer. Anticipating what John Curtice | 0:15:40 | 0:15:46 | |
might say, given that we sort of note that the middle option might | 0:15:46 | 0:15:52 | |
be preferred. I do not think you should deny a | 0:15:52 | 0:15:54 | |
correction Mac design a referendum assuming you know what the answer | 0:15:54 | 0:15:59 | |
will be. The truth is my proposal was | 0:15:59 | 0:16:04 | |
something of a compromise. In an ideal fashion you would ask people | 0:16:04 | 0:16:08 | |
to put the three options in order of preference and counts it in such | 0:16:08 | 0:16:12 | |
a way to identify whether any one of those options is clearly | 0:16:12 | 0:16:18 | |
preferable to the other two. However, I was saying to take in | 0:16:18 | 0:16:23 | |
the political reality. One consensus on which both Unionists | 0:16:23 | 0:16:28 | |
and nationalists appear to agree is that they want a clear and decisive | 0:16:28 | 0:16:32 | |
question on independence. We can have that. Let us make it the first | 0:16:32 | 0:16:38 | |
question on the ballot paper. Given that there are apparently | 0:16:38 | 0:16:42 | |
substantial demands for more devolution, let us have a second | 0:16:42 | 0:16:46 | |
question on the ballot paper. The interesting question about this | 0:16:46 | 0:16:51 | |
debate, had this to nobody had suggested that we should simply | 0:16:51 | 0:16:55 | |
have a second question on the ballot paper about the devilish and | 0:16:55 | 0:17:01 | |
Max verses the status quo. It is informed about understandings on | 0:17:01 | 0:17:07 | |
the nature of public opinion and is what both sides say they want. We | 0:17:07 | 0:17:11 | |
can have that clear and decisive vote on independence and, at the | 0:17:11 | 0:17:17 | |
same time, had that second question. The two things are not necessarily | 0:17:17 | 0:17:22 | |
contradictory. What about the more fundamental | 0:17:22 | 0:17:28 | |
point that Ian Davidson's report posits. You can only have more | 0:17:29 | 0:17:33 | |
devolution of someone defines what more devolution is? | 0:17:33 | 0:17:37 | |
That is clear. You cannot say you would like a boat on two or three | 0:17:37 | 0:17:42 | |
words that someone has put together. There is a clear, concrete | 0:17:42 | 0:17:46 | |
proposition that is in his Commons acts but nobody seems to be | 0:17:46 | 0:17:50 | |
suggesting we vote on at. Be on that there is no proposition are | 0:17:50 | 0:17:55 | |
told. Nobody knows what it is and nobody knows whose job it is to put | 0:17:55 | 0:17:59 | |
it together. What would you say to that? | 0:17:59 | 0:18:05 | |
If we are going to have a sensible referendum on a scheme of Mori for | 0:18:05 | 0:18:10 | |
-- of more devolution, we need a scheme that his words out in terms | 0:18:10 | 0:18:15 | |
of principles. We do not need to have every I tarted of tea crossbow | 0:18:15 | 0:18:19 | |
we need something at least as detailed as was put forward to the | 0:18:19 | 0:18:24 | |
Scottish electorate in 1997 and as detailed as what the SNP put | 0:18:24 | 0:18:28 | |
together in terms of independence. He would do that? | 0:18:28 | 0:18:33 | |
And ideally it would come from one of the two governments or from | 0:18:33 | 0:18:41 | |
Scottish Civic Society. The Institute for Public Policy | 0:18:41 | 0:18:47 | |
Research is doing some work on this. It do you think the Devo Plus | 0:18:47 | 0:18:52 | |
proposals could do that? How to see you get agreement that that is the | 0:18:52 | 0:18:55 | |
form of devolution that everyone wants? | 0:18:55 | 0:18:59 | |
The answer is only through a process of debate and discussion. | 0:18:59 | 0:19:04 | |
Last time round so that debate took place within the form of a | 0:19:04 | 0:19:07 | |
constitutional convention. Some sort of or delight that may have to | 0:19:07 | 0:19:13 | |
be developed. Is there a way to give this efficient underpinning so | 0:19:13 | 0:19:19 | |
we can have a sensible vote on its? Is as sensible? | 0:19:19 | 0:19:23 | |
What John did not answer there is that if you have a proposal on | 0:19:23 | 0:19:28 | |
devolution, it is not a unilateral Scottish one. | 0:19:28 | 0:19:34 | |
That was going to be my second question. It is up to people in | 0:19:34 | 0:19:38 | |
Scotland to decide whether or not they want to be independent but is | 0:19:38 | 0:19:41 | |
it up to people in Scotland to decide whether they want more | 0:19:41 | 0:19:46 | |
devolution? You cannot unilaterally vote on | 0:19:46 | 0:19:49 | |
more devolution because it is an agreed deal between Scotland and | 0:19:49 | 0:19:54 | |
the rest of the UK. So you think it would have to be in | 0:19:54 | 0:19:59 | |
a party manifesto, for example, in a UK general election? | 0:19:59 | 0:20:05 | |
The test is that if the people vote for it, this hypothetical scheme of | 0:20:05 | 0:20:09 | |
more devolution, will they get it? They will only get it if the UK is | 0:20:09 | 0:20:14 | |
willing to legislate for it. If that is the principal problem | 0:20:14 | 0:20:18 | |
with the second question, it should say to people that they promise | 0:20:18 | 0:20:28 | |
0:20:28 | 0:20:29 | ||
that if Scotland votes for this we will hold a referendum on Mort | 0:20:29 | 0:20:33 | |
evolution. -- more devolution. That is not the situation that has been | 0:20:33 | 0:20:37 | |
put forward. Thank you. Let us look at | 0:20:37 | 0:20:47 | |

Good evening. We have had some thoroughly miserable weather | 0:21:16 | 0:21:21 | |
through Wednesday. That now lies to the north of Scotland and it will | 0:21:21 | 0:21:26 | |
be a blustery day on Thursday. Sunshine and showers and quieter | 0:21:26 | 0:21:31 | |
for some areas with spells of dry and bright weather in between. | 0:21:31 | 0:21:34 | |
Temperatures again into the low twenties so we're keeping the | 0:21:34 | 0:21:39 | |
humidity tonight and into tomorrow. In those dry spells temperatures | 0:21:39 | 0:21:44 | |
will hit the mid- twenties but on the whole they are showers will be | 0:21:44 | 0:21:48 | |
coming through quite frequently went longer spells of rain | 0:21:48 | 0:21:53 | |
returning to Northern Ireland's and pushing Wales by the end of the day. | 0:21:53 | 0:21:59 | |
There are further warnings about rain by the end of the day. Some | 0:21:59 | 0:22:05 | |
heavy showers around us just about everywhere with hail and thunder. | 0:22:05 | 0:22:08 | |
With the sunshine in between some pleasant spells as well but more | 0:22:08 | 0:22:12 | |
rain for the Northern Isles. You can see the showery weather for | 0:22:12 | 0:22:18 | |
Thursday overtaken by wetter weather, especially for the West | 0:22:18 | 0:22:23 | |
and not, by Friday. There will be rain for a time Eid in the south- | 0:22:23 | 0:22:29 | |
east on Friday. 25 Celsius the high in London. A lot of wet weather in | 0:22:29 | 0:22:35 |
