Any MP elected from any Country in the UK to the Westminster parliament should, and in my view must, be able to vote on 'all' that is presented to that Parliament.
No 2 tier system of MPs for me,that for me would be far worse than what we have now.

It is bad enough that for a lot of the time for decades,that Scotland and Wales have had policy dictated to them from mainly English MPs.
The last thing we need now is the whole of England,top to bottom being dictated to as to policy by in the main the far South of England's MP's only.
Again, no thank you.

Totally! But you know this will be spun as 'let's get shot of the anti establishment Scottish MPs!'.... how will making these (representatives of part of the UK let's not forget) disenfranchised benefit anyone in England?

It will look really hypocritical if there has been a large efffort to ensure Scotland remained in the United Kingdom then a line was taken to strip MPs from Scotland legitimately elected to Westminster of voting rights.
Wonder where that will leave the whips.

What is needed are new elected authorities in the regions of England replacing Councils.
Given much more and extra devolved powers and none of this segregation at the full Westminster parliament to satisfy power mad MPs from the far South of England only.

Yes I think we need to get behind Scotland and show Westminster that they can't rest on their laurels, awarding themselves huge rises and selling our nationalised organisations!
