SNP Ministers Suck Up Power - Devolution Has Worked in Reverse
20yrs of devolution has led to increased centralisation in Scotland. It has to stop. I don’t understand why Greens in particular support the centralisation of care under National Care Service. Taking away children’s services would be mad. https://t.co/1XJF7nUWQz

Fair comment from Andy Wightman.
Scottish Ministers have become much more powerful and less accountable since Holyrood was created in 1999.
Not surprisingly, the Scottish Parliament, its committees and MSPs have become much weaker and get treated as a junior partner in the task of governing for the whole the country.
