Didn't we have a referendum a few years ago about PR? Any UK referendum or a part of it should come with the small print that it can't be repeated for 8-10 years,it,s nothing new it's even in the Anglo Irish agreement.
Happy St George's day,think of the following quote "We’re not genetically programmed in Scotland to make political decisions".if that said England-would you vote for the party that said it?

No, the referendum was on the AV (Alternative Vote) http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-11243595 not PR. It was a fudge (surprise, surprise) that pleased neither side and only about 32% voted in favour.

We had an AV referendum to appease Clegg, and one of his promises to the coalition was that if we had this referendum he would allow the boundaries of the electoral areas to be redrawn in a fairer manner (each containing equal numbers of people). Of course he reneged on this because he may have ended up with zero seats as a consequence.

Yes - That was a petty display of foot stamping by the LibDems.

Next time, its boundaries first, and then we will have an AV referendum.

No Nicola, he wants to reduce Scottish influence over England, not over the UK. Why should Scottish MPs have a say on Income Tax in England if English MPs no longer will have a say on Income Tax in Scotland?

This morning the Conservatives are promising English votes for English issues. Interesting that it's being seen as a move to win over voters from UKIP more than countering the SNP.

Why not? This is a good thing.

The Welsh have their own administration; as do the Scots.

People have moaned for years about Politicians not looking after their local needs. Here is a chance to ensure that each region is able to focus on their own needs.

As does Norn Iron.

How can Cameron doing MORE than Nicola and Alex as they specifically want Scotland to leave: no ifs, no buts, no compromises but leave.
You may, of course be implying that the Scots reaction to fairness in voting and grant distribution across all the people of the UK, will make them more likely to vote for independence.
If that be so, then the soon they leave the better.
