It's not exactly been a disaster but the way it was setup caused a division. Scotland and Wales got parliaments but nothing equivalent was put in place for England, so there is an imbalance there.

Also the Scottish parliament was given enough power that the Scottish government could look competent, but not enough power that the Scottish government could ever mess things up or do anything very controversial. No Scottish government has ever become unpopular because of that.

All that has just helped the SNP.
