Me neither!
By the same token, non Scottish MP’s in the Commons should not vote on issues that affect only Scotland.
I think that the simplest solution is to hold a referendum in Scotland to decide if Scotland should break away from the UK and become an independent nation. Then we can get rid of all MP’s representing Scottish constituencies.
North is the way to go Gordon and don’t forget to close the door behind you.
We could then have a community service of rebuilding Hadrian’s Wall just to complete the whole deal. |
