The West Lothian answer: devolution

Article Abstract:

The question of whether Scotland should be forced to give up seats and/or some voting rights in Parliament as a result of devolution is difficult to answer. Prior to the most recent movement to create an independent Scottish government, a representative posed the question of whether Scottish members of Parliament (MPs) should be able to vote on issues concerning England and Wales when English and Welsh MPs were not able to vote on Scottish issues. The best solution appears to be to reduce the number of Scottish MPs in Westminster to about 42, and elect Scottish Parliament members proportionally based on party popularity.
