A FORMER SNP policy development convenor has called for a devo-max option to be included on any future independence referendum ballot to break Scotland’s constitutional logjam.

Chris Hanlon, who served as the party’s policy chief between 2020 and 2021, wrote in the National — a pro-independence newspaper — that excluding the option of enhanced devolution from the ballot if there is a second referendum would be “just plain wrong.”

Mr Hanlon, who no longer holds the position, said that the move could offer a way of ending the constitutional “logjam” in Scotland, with the British and Scottish governments continuing their standoffs despite a majority in Holyrood in favour of holding a second vote on independence.
