THE Scottish Green Party's campaign for a Yes vote in the independence referendum has criticised the latest comments by Danny Alexander, a Highland LibDems MP and the Chief Secretary to the Treasury.
Green Party MSP Patrick Harvie began a tour of the north yesterday with meetings in Aviemore, Elgin and Inverness.
Mr Alexander said a No vote in the independence referendum would lead to a federal UK, with power devolved directly to communities rather than handed to "the Holyrood elite". He cited SNP centralisation and A9 speed cameras as reasons to oppose independence.
But Mr Harvie said: "The LibDems have been at the heart of the UK's cruel Coalition Government, targeting the most vulnerable in society and putting more money in the pockets of the wealthy and powerful.
"The return of local powers within Scotland is, in fact, a reason to vote Yes.
