What about when English MP's decided what was best for These countries because they outnumbered those that represented them? Shoe is on the other foot and it doesnt fit. Scotland was abbused with the test run for the imfamous poll tax and because of being outnumbered Scots MP's couldnt stop it could they. Now that there is devolution in N.Ireland Scotland and Wales England is having to face what these countries had to put up with for centuries. This will continue untill either the UK is broken up into its constituent countries or there is an English on English issues only rule. There are still matters that are not in the remit of the devolved govenments which English MP's have a vote on is there not?
