McLeish idea to rename the 'scottish executive' to Scottish government has been turned down flat by ALL his party in London, who have made it VERY clear that Scotland is JUST a tax convenience for Westminster. Blairs stance makes it clear to an idiot that he regards the 'Scottish parliament' as a place where Westminsters will is exercised on the Scottish people, NOT a place where the Scots can EVER govern themselves free of Westminsters interference.

John Swinney, leader of the SNP, said: "This is an abject humiliation for Henry McLeish. He has now been publicly rebuked and embarrassed by Downing Street, which shows that he and his executive are totally subordinate to Labour's bosses in London."
