I sort of agree with the original point i.e. why doesn't England have its own Parliament?
Our current system is so complicated, it would be much easier and simpler if we just had a federal system. The other option which would be completely breaking any links England, Scotland and Wales have with each other, thereby creating 3 completely separate countries doesn't seem feasible considering all 3 countries have been so closely intertwined throughout their history. I guess the real test of the devolution system will be when the Govenment in power in Scotland is different from that in England. Then there may be more challenges, than at present, for the UK to face. Ben
