Scotland seriously needs to question what devolution and Holyrood actually delivers for the money it consumes. After years of political theatre, constitutional obsession and endless blame-shifting and scandal, where is the meaningful improvement in people’s lives? Is this extra layer of governance delivering value, accountability and better outcomes, or has it become an expensive circus in its own right? Perhaps it’s time to stop treating devolution as untouchable and start asking whether it is actually working. Devolution should exist to serve Scotland, not to serve the political ambitions of unqualified grifters.
