Oh yes, blokes called Chandrasegarampillai or summat, who have been
told to pass themselves off as 'Chas' from Luton.
Hilarious, if it weren't so fucking annoying.

If them are the rules, MMM, then the union will be ripped apart, and Scotland and Wales (just following your logic) would become independent nations.
Fiscal matters, defence, foreign affairs, immigration, social services are all UK matters over which the Scottish Parliament and Welsh Assmbly have no control.
For my part, I'll judge Brown once he's settled in the job. I did the same with Blair, and Major, and Thatcher before him.

The fact remains, it is a UK parliament. Until there is a complete divorce, he is as entitled to be Prime Minister as anyone---whether representing an English, Scottish, Welsh or Northern Irish seat.

The trouble is, in all other areas of policy you have a Scottish 'mafia'
making decisions that affect often wholly English concerns- and no
decision-making reciprocity worth the name [not many Cockney MPs North
of the Border, I see....]. And there certinly seems to be a profusion of
Scottish names in the Cabinet and Gordo's close advisors.
People naturally suspect a conflict of interest- since when have MPs been
disinterested legislators with our welfare close to heart?.

However unrepresentative it appears.

I wonder if you'd be as sanguine were one Gerrit Adams to have been PM.
And the legitimacy of that 'entitlement' has already been called into
question earlier in the thread.

Don't get me wrong, it is nothing less than shameful that the votes of Scottish MPs are being used to push through legislation that will not affect their constituents. If they had any moral fibre at all, they would abstain or just not show up for votes involving English areas only. But moral fibre and MPs are mutually exclusive.
