Question: Won't extending devolution incrementally in the devolved parts of the UK inevitably lead to a break up?
Bourne: I don't see that at all, I don't understand people who put that argument forward and say there is something inevitable about independence.
That has not been the case in Spain, in Germany, the US or Australia so I can't see that if you have a separation of powers for the constituent parts of a nation state that it leads to independence.
In Germany, the US and Australia everyone considers themselves primarily as German, American or Australian. So bad comparison.
Which leaves Spain.
