There was an air of quiet satisfaction among senior Tories at their conference in Birmingham last week. "Wily" Alex Salmond had been put back in his box, I was told – forced to drop his devious plan to turn the ballot on Scottish independence into an each-way bet in a two-horse race that he couldn't lose. But 300 miles north, members of the Yes Scotland campaign were also expressing quiet satisfaction. They claim to be more than content with a single-question referendum. Nationalists think Salmond pulled the wool over the UK Government's eyes and that he wanted a single question all along. They can't both be right.
