Devolution has created a United Kingdom in which Scotland and Wales have national executives while England does not.
The Scottish Parliament has full executive powers independent of the UK in 75% of governance matters. No English MP has any voice at all in such matters as they affect Scotland.
Scottish MPs can both initiate and vote on Acts of Parliament concerning education and the NHS in England.
Constitutionally there are three sorts of people in the island of Great Britain. There are those who are Scottish and British, those who are Welsh and British and those who are just British.
At the moment there is no voice for England in any of the various institutions that help shape EU policy, the conduct of EU business, or the awarding of EU grants.
“There’s a possibility that a Scotsman is going to rule over me. A Scotsman who comes from a constituency where my member of parliament, who I elected, has no say whatsoever.” (Too late Michael, it's happened).Q. Should there be an English parliament?

Still "deep cleaning" when I clicked through.
Shades,
Probably have to hit refresh.
There should be no need to tell you how I voted; I'm sure you can guess.
If the English are not allowed a parliament, Civil War will be the only course against the scottish master race!
I have gone a stage further in my thoughts, HERE.
With the Scottish, Welsh and Northern Ireland devolved bodies, and nearly all the rest soon to be decided in Brussels anyway, why does Britain still need a full-blown Parliament?
I think it should be reduced and eventually eliminated -- not through my own choice, but because of the so-called Reform Treaty, combined with these devolutionary moves we have had in recent years.
Bomb the scotch beggars back to their mountains.
English independence now!
Englans has a head of state who is head of state for the whole of the UK and dozens of nations across the UK. Most of of the lords were educated in your country. So how are you lot oppressed.
