It is likely why David Cameron is desperate to do something as to English MPs voting on only English issues.
He hasn't the time to thankfully and I do not look at MPs elected in general elections as anything else than Westminster MPs.
The Conservative party would with their preferred plans rather have the whole of England dictated to by the far Southern MPs. who mainly are their own MPs, that they would call democracy.
The Scottish MPs,Welsh MPs and Irish MPs who get elected to Westminster are UK MPs, they should vote on anything that comes before the House of Commons in Westminster.
Those MPs elected in Scotland, Wales etc; do not get to vote in the 2 devolved assemblies so have to be able to vote in Westminster since they are elected to do so, and if elected as Labour, Conservative or Lib Dem, then they are elected to fully support that party in Westminster too.
If power is to be altered as to England, then England has to have devolved power too, and to the regions rather than just an English assembly.
I hail from Worcestershire,I now reside myself further North and whether I lived in either of those areas,I certainly do not want an English votes system in Westminster where those smug far South Tories dictate to the whole of the rest of England,no way and a big no thank you to any of that.
So I am not that bothered if the SNP win the vast majority of seats in Scotland.
They will be dedicated to fair and compassionate policies, as to welfare reforms, the NHS and they too want rid of the bedroom tax.
They actually sound more Labour than Labour do, so the poll at the head of this thread,rather than worry me or disappoint me, actually fills me with greater enthusiasm as to the 'better' kind of govt. there could be after the election.
