Vanity project
Surely the best thing to do for Scotland would be to align this with the rest of the UK, and to do away with a Revenue Scotland that is also not needed.
Given that Revenue Scotland only has two taxes to manage, it would be sensible to divert the substantial cost of striking up a new (and unnecessary) government department and putting the money into education, the NHS, care, or whatever.
Vanity comes at a cost, and simply diverts money from a more needy cause.
