Both the Shetland Times and Shetland News are currently running polls asking for votes on whether Shetland should seek more autonomy. The Shetland Times asks, “Should Shetland seek greater independence along similar lines to Faroe?” and Shetland News asks “Should more powers be handed over to Shetland? They certainly appear to rule here, but any authority is based on mere presumption, backed by nothing at all. It cannot be given more autonomy because, by the definition in Scots law, we already have total autonomy, total sovereignty.
