10 points explaining the mess that it is.
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-49008826 Personally I think the British membership in the EU always has been a big misunderstanding, and the self-understanding of the EU as this ominous European project going beyond a free market always was a megalomaniac erring of the masses, and a selfish hobby of the self-proclaimed elites trying to provide themselves bigger, shinier, higher thrones.

Scottish MP representing a Scottish constituency as leader of a UK wide party?
West Lothian Question anyone? Mike.

I sometimes ask that question of myself and well remember Tam Dalyell.

The only possible way around the problem would be devolution and a separate Parliament for England, but so far the people of England don't appear to want the extra layer of politicians that and a fully federal UK would entail. The latter is something the Lib Dems support, BTW. I am going to be slightly pithy and write that Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have that additional set of politicos (we voted for them), so why shouldn't England? If English people don't want non-English MP's voting on English only matters then there are only two real alternatives - that extra layer of politicians, or start voting for the English Democrats and independence from the UK. There is a third - scrap devolution and go back to the status quo ante 1997, but how badly do people want to send troops onto the streets of Northern Ireland (again) and the Clyde Valley (the most likely trouble spot in Scotland)? Mike.

Boris as PM? This will be interesting.....
Could Prime Minister Boris Johnson break up the UK? Will Brexit break Britain, and would England care? The latter highlights the dichotomy of the Unionist position in both Northern Ireland and Scotland - they support something which an increasing number of English people don't. Though it could be argued that Unionism is inherently undemocratic as it's based on the idea that preserving the Union is more important than the democratic will of the people(s) of the UK. Mike.
