What's devolution done for you?
10 years on and 140 pieces of legislation later, has the Scottish Parliament changed your life for better or worse? Here are just some of the achievements (or failures, depending on your point of view) the Holyrood Parliament has brought:
- ;
- ;
- The "" Scotland's countryside;
- ;
- ;
- , abolishing the bar on the promotion of homosexuality;
- ;
- .
And, oh yes, there was too! One of the biggest early controversies of the past 10 years was the cost of the £414m Scottish Parliament building — which opened 3 years late, at 10 times the original estimated cost. But is Holyrood, nonetheless, still a worthwhile addition to Edinburgh's skyline? It has, after all, won a total of nine major architectural awards.
What will the next 10 years bring? Would you like to see more devolution with additional powers for the Scottish Parliament or full independence? Thanks for you comments on today's Morning Extra. You can continue the debate here.
