What is being discussed is a repeal of the Act of Union, which will affect the people of England, Wales and Northern Ireland as equally as the people of Scotland. Their views are just as valid, so must be included in any referendum.

Well its half way there already, at present we have Scots MPs vote on issues at Westminster that don't affect the people who voted for them, to me I can't see how that is anyway near being democratic, neither is people in England paying for elderly care, tuition fees, prescriptions and hospital parking, whilst the Scots get it free subsidised by the English tax payers, this situation could only happen in Britain, no beggar else would stand for it
