SO, who won the referendum phoney war?

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.
