Does any one believe the success of the No campaign in Scotland will really lead to solving the West Lothian Problem?

No. Devolution is the source of the West Lothian Problem. Although, in practice, the problem isn't of much importance - it has become a constitutional convention that Scottish MPs do not vote on issues that, because of devolution, will not impact their constituents.

As for regional devolution, the simple reason is that when the idea was raised in the 1990s, there was inadequate interest. The English regions don't have a sufficiently distinct identity, except perhaps Cornwall, to muster the political will needed to obtain devolved powers.

A federal system would not work for the UK, at least not as currently constituted. Too many people, and too much money and power are concentrated in the south east of England. England dwarfs the other countries of the UK, so a simple federal model using those countries would not work. Even splitting off Cornwall and the North of England would leave one component of the federal system with vastly more popular power than the others. Worse, separating the regions of England would almost inevitably lead to the creation of a London region, in which large business interests would have disproportionate influence, which they might use to further their interests, while harming the interests of the rest of the nation.

Finally, trying to create a federal system out of what we have now would be monumentally difficult. You're talking years, or decades, of planning and debate.

No. The proposal to devolve even more powers to Scotland will heighten the problem. Perversely, the true solution to the West Lothian problem would be Scottish Independence!

Not really - should the English decide themselves on purely English matters ? Yes of course but how do you decide which issues are and aren't purely English ? It is also a matter of where and by whom these issues are decided. Westminster is the British parliament not the English parliament. There would have to be an English assembly with its own Members to do these things - it isn't ok to do it in the British parliament.

Yes if not UKIP will be getting a lot of votes
