Agree
-Deunification of the United Kingdom. If Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland want their own parliaments let them go it alone.
Not economically viable for them to do so despite all the protestations up here.
This would prevent the ludicrous situation we have at the moment were Scottish M.P.'s are voting on issues in Westminster that only affects English and Welsh law.
Ironic is it not based on past historic voting and laws concerning what was deemed good for the Scots i.e. Poll Tax.
Also we now have the situation were Scottish senior citizens don't have to sell their homes to pay for residential care if they need it, unlike their English counterparts.
Yes and the size of the population might be a reason.
Also Scottish students don't have to pay for university tuition fees, unlike the English.
A large number come north to benefit this.
-End the drugs postcode lottery. If a patient needs a particular drug treatment, let them have them. This should not come down to where you live, and if the relevant local health authority can afford it or not.
