This week the West Highland Press's Gaelic columnist Angus Peter Campbell featured his thoughts on "consultation" in his weekly article. Here's part of what he said - in Gàidhlig for those Garlicky Gurnites first:
"Seo an rud: nam biodh cumhachd aig na coimhearsnachdan mar bu chòir, cha bhiodh feum sam bith air “cocomhairleachadh”, oir chan fheumadh na h-ùghdarrasan faighneachd airson beachdan – bhiodh na coimhearsnachdan cheana air innse dhaibh."
"This is the thing: if communities had the power that they should have, there would be no need of "consultation", because the authorities would not need to ask for opionions - the communities would have already told them."

Devolving power means letting go of it and what political party is going to do that unless you're a utopian green? Lip service, maybe
