Cameron to tackle the West Lothian problem

[jaysay]

David Cameron will today outline his intentions to stop Scottish MPs voting on issues that effect only us here in England, quite right to, why should MPs from over the boarder vote on issues that don't effect the people who elected them, it can't come soon enough for me

[panther]

cameron can jump off the london eye for me.....now that would be something good to talk about...

Could he now outline his intentions to stop Euro-MPs and, even worse, unelected Brussels bureaucrats like Mandelson deciding on issues that affect us here in England?

Well he would certainly have given the British people the right to vote on the Lisbon Treaty, which would be a start, unlike this jerk in Downing Street now

Me neither!

By the same token, non Scottish MP’s in the Commons should not vote on issues that affect only Scotland.

I think that the simplest solution is to hold a referendum in Scotland to decide if Scotland should break away from the UK and become an independent nation. Then we can get rid of all MP’s representing Scottish constituencies.

North is the way to go Gordon and don’t forget to close the door behind you.

We could then have a community service of rebuilding Hadrian’s Wall just to complete the whole deal.

Yep, I'll give you that one, Jaysay. What a pity the gutless nonentity who currently masquerades as PM is so frightened of public opinion that he has broken Labour's pledge to give us a referendum on the subject.

I agree, then our PM would not be able to vote on English issues

Don’t think he is frightened of public opinion, he seems oblivious to it. Brown seems to be an egomaniac. I don’t think he listens to his cabinet, why would it be expected that he listens to the public.
