One would therefore be forgiven for supposing that he'd be aware that power is relative. What matters in the context of the constitutional issue is not the "sheer might" of the UK in relation to the rest of the world, but the power relationship between the British state and Scotland. From that perspective, the might of the Union is as sheer as it needs to be.

But doing so makes no sense unless you also worry just as much about American interference and EU interference and Israeli interference and Chinese interference and - worst culprit of all - British interference.
