I don’t think that we “interfered” with your laws, axel. After all, it was a unitary UK parliament before devolution, but Scotland was overly represented and there were various “standing orders” to hinder English MPs from voting on Scottish legislation. Plus, Scotland had its own Secretary Of State.

England had none of this.

@ Axel

No University fees, no trust hospitals for two. Both voted in by Scottish Labour when the majority of English MP’s voted against.

I suppose it has been 12 years since you could interfere with most of our laws, so things should be balanced but…..

Scottish Mps in westminster do live and work in england so surely……

I’ll go back to hiding under my rock.

As an aside, how different would England be, if only English MPs voted on its laws?
