Had the Conservative Party not used Alternative Vote, David Davis would have won

I think that the UK should be nothing more than a defence/foreign policy union and a free trade area. I think that everything else should be down to individual Parliaments, even things like monetary policy.

The Conservative party would win every English election for the rest of time.

Sounds a lot like what I want for the European Union, actually (except maybe the unified foreign policy, but even that would be nice).

So, in an ideal world, that would completely obsolete the UK.

I'm not being ridiculous.

If the English and Scottish Parliaments (lets ignore Wales and NI) UNITE to form a UNITED Kingdom, then what happens when one of those partners goes back to it's old Parliament?

It's either an English Parliament plus a Scottish Parliament OR a UNITED (kingdom) Parliament.

Scotland has it's Parliament so now the Union is nearly broken. We just need England to get a Parliament and we're back to 1706. Unfortunately the Tories are THE Unionist party and they'll allow Scottish MPs to get away with voting on legislation that only affects England and Wales just to preserve the Union. Blocking them from doing so, like David Davis wanted, would at some point end either the UK parliament or the Scottish one.

Would you vote for staying in the UK if it meant the Scottish Parliament had to go? Do you agree that it's only fair for England to have a Parliament now that Scotland has one?

Mel Gibson bravely fought for Scottish independence, but as he's no indigenous, it'll be Sean Connery to reap the fruits of his efforts and become king!

And History repeats itself. First Scotland sent a hard rock band to pillage Australians' hard earned money, now it ruthlessly exploits a mentally disturbed American-Australian alcoholic religious-sexual wacko for its purposes, how mean! But at least usurping  the crown from poor ol' nutty Mel will be the last insult, once independent Scotland won't be able to exploit Australia, Kiribati and other irrelevant Commonwealth members anymore!

If English recognized Kosovo as independent, they sure as hell must recognize Scotland as indepented. But i wouldnt be suprised if they try to pervent it, western politicians are the very definition of double standard and hypocracy

I wish they would just become independent aleady 

Uh....  I don't see how the two situations are comprable really.

When was the last time the English sent people into Scotland to murder scots?

Don't see David Cameron or Gordon Brown being tried at the hague for their crimes against Scots.

If Scotland goes independent I can't see much else changing in the UK.

can't see the Welsh wanting independence, and N.Ireland most definitely don't. Wouldn't be benefitial for either country. Although in the future when Ireland builds its economy back up and Sinn Fein get the majority in N.Ireland (because the Catholics are breeding like rabbits here), there might be a 'United Ireland.'

Although there would be civil war of something over that issue.....
