It's going to mean some cuts from somewhere and a pretty wholescale review of our spending policy - it does seem like it's a "big idea" without the detail behind it to make it workable.<BR/><BR/>I'd also have thought that the correct place for the new Scottish leader to make this announcement was at the <B>Scottish</B> conference, rather than the Federal one, where he could actually have a motion to support it and give our conference a bit of much-needed media interest.
