English Parliament.
Devolution has created a United Kingdom in which Scotland and Wales have
national executives while England does not.
The Scottish Parliament has full executive powers independent of the UK in 75%
of governance matters. No English MP has any voice at all in such matters as
they affect Scotland.
Scottish MPs can both initiate and vote on Acts of Parliament concerning
education and the NHS in England.
Constitutionally there are three sorts of people in the island of Great Britain.
There are those who are Scottish and British, those who are Welsh and British
and those who are just British.
At the moment there is no voice for England in any of the various institutions
that help shape EU policy, the conduct of EU business, or the awarding of EU
grants.
“There’s a possibility that a Scotsman is going to rule over me. A Scotsman
who comes from a constituency where my member of parliament, who I elected, has
no say whatsoever.” (Too late Michael, it's happened).
