Burnt Fishtrousers: rest assured that English resentment over Barnett and the West Lothian Question is balanced nicely by Scottish concerns about English expenditure (in particular on items subject to the WLQ) coming out of the overall UK expenditure budget. If England had a devolved chamber and a block grant like Scotland's, the WLQ would go away and we could all get on with running our own affairs. Keep a smaller UK chamber in Wastemonster to deal with defence, immigration &c, and to agree the block grants to the devolved administrations.
