Hmmm, lessee, which category should the following two go in???
- It's England
- It's full of English people
Ah yes, Englands neighbours! The Welsh are no problem at all, mostly keep to themselves but those god-forsaken interfering, Scots!! Ever heard of the West Lothian question Ross?
The West Lothian question was raised by Tam Dalyell, MP for the Scottish constituency of West Lothian during the debate over Scottish devolution in the 70's. It was in two parts:
"How can it be right that MP's elected to Westminster from Scottish constituencies have no ability to affect the issues of their constituents which have been devolved to the Scottish Parliament"
and
"If power over Scottish affairs is devolved to a Scottish Parliament, how can it be right that MPs representing Scottish constituencies in the Parliament of the United Kingdom will have the power to vote on issues affecting England (including those that don't affect Scotland), but English MPs will not have the power to vote on Scottish issues?"
No-one answered the question satisfactorily at that time or since and the anomoly raised by Tam Dalyell is now a reality. Scots! Bah! Go play in yer own playground!!
