As a naive scot living in England.
How come Scotland gets a Parliament, Wales and N Ireland get an assembly.
They also get a disproportionate level of taxes to spend and are able to have free health care, free prescriptions and free education including uni.
Remind me what is it exactly that we get here in England?

You're doubtless happy to spend our North Sea oil revenues or somehow does that not come into the equation? Why on earth do you think that even a wicked right wing witch like Thatcher was desperate to keep us in the union? parliament MPs.And let's not forget that the first devolution referendum in 1979 achieved a majority in favour but failed because of an amendment proposed by an English MP.
