Not quite - the Westminster MPs are forced upon Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland to maintain the total number of MPs in the English parliament.

their own so called Governments
Note that these are limited in power by the English parliament - particularly in the case of Wales if the Assembly wants to do anything major, it has to raise it's hand and ask permission from the teachers in Westminster. Has done some things though - all Welsh prescriptions are free and have been for 4 or 5 years. What are they charging per item in England these days - £7.20 still? Particularly for the elderly who tend to use more drugs as time goes on, this can be a major cost saver.

I was being provocative; everyone is well aware of why this was done. Having a Scottish name, Welsh upbringing, but living in England I very much believe that a single 'British' government is all that we need.
It's time for a new signature.
It would be nice if we had one, rather than the London-centric bunch of self-serving crooks political system we are used to!

What do the tories need to do to get in? We are in the middle of the biggest economic disaster we have had for a generation, we have had the expenses scandal, Labour have led us into an illegal war, Brown is obviously incompetent and unable to lead us through the current prediciment and yet the Tories still can't get in! Is this because the constituency boundaries have been moved in such a way that it is impossible for the Tories to regain power or is it that people dont trust Cameron either??
You must be too young to remember much about how the tories run the country.

I'm not and they were bloody marvelous - great years. Labour have ground the UK into the floor. Why people suddenly expect them to do anything differently just highlights how dumb the avast majority of people are.

As soon as they put forward an adult as leader they'll win.

yeah, it was great under the tories, with hospital corridors put to their proper use, full of people on trolleys. and that nice Mr Pinochet always dropping in for tea with the PM.
