So the SNP are hoping for a hung parliament so they can have more power in Westminster. Now hold on a cotton-picking minute, haven't they got their OWN bloody parliament? I don't want a party that's stated aim is to promote Scotland above all others to be making decisions that affect us English, Welsh or Irish.

But their parliament is powerless when it comes to things like defence, tax and law & order so why shouldn't they sit in Westminster where matters like this are discussed and voted on?So the SNP are hoping for a hung parliament so they can have more power in Westminster.

It's not a matter of the SNP on the West Lothian debate. They are not the only MP's that deal in Scottish matters. Remember the Tuition fee fiasco?

Students from south of the border, complicated grants/loans fiasco, it's not so difficult to understand that "other parties" had a valid interest.http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/scotland/343276...

So in that particular case I don't think it was wrong for some Scottish MPs to take part in the vote (as it applied to their constituents as well) but I do thoroughly disagree with the way the Government used them to force the bill through in the face of English opposition.

Scottish students attending an UK university outside of Scotland, of course have to pay tuition fees like any other UK student. And Scottish MPs may of course represent English students attending Scottish universities in their constituencies (40% of Edinburgh Uni students are English for example).
So in that particular case I don't think it was wrong for some Scottish MPs to take part in the vote (as it applied to their constituents as well) but I do thoroughly disagree with the way the Government used them to force the bill through in the face of English opposition.
And English students studying in their home country? They get charged. How is that fair? Do English Student going to Scotland get it free? No they don't. So in that particular case I don't think it was wrong for some Scottish MPs to take part in the vote (as it applied to their constituents as well) but I do thoroughly disagree with the way the Government used them to force the bill through in the face of English opposition.
So you have a situation whereby a Scottish student can get their education without top-up fees, and an English Student will be charged no matter.

Unfortunately the Campaign for an English parliament is seen as somewhat crackpot.

"Off our east coast lies Norway, the second most prosperous country in the world. Off our west coast lies Ireland, the fourth most prosperous country in the world. Off our north coast lies Iceland, the sixth most prosperous country in the world."
