The Welsh Assembly has simply proven its capabilities to be a clone of the commons,full of pompous career politicians who are along for the wages and the expenses. Why even bother with a referendum if this bunch of gangsters are going to be ruling over us. Tom Referendum WHY.

Nevertheless giving the Assembly the general power to legislate in 20 policy areas would establish proper parliamentary government in Wales - a momentous development. Anything beyond that - elements or all of the Richard package - could reasonably be seen as a tidying-up exercise, by no means inevitable but to be considered as and when. To unwind the Convention process, which has been imperfect but has produced an unequivocal and solid report, would be to make the perfect the enemy of the far better. We need to exude confidence, go for it and, as Lee says, get the narrative of the Yes Campaign agreed and right.

If anything it is the anti-devolutionists in the Labour MP group that are risking running into that juggernaught not the enthusiasts The juggernaught of public opinion is in favour of a referendum and in favour of one before 2011.
