Boris Johnson called Scottish Devolution a 'Disaster'.

[Sheepy]

Dunno, what time do we get the party political broadcast on behalf of the SNP?

Yeah I many years ago thought there should be devolution across the whole UK,the only problem is that central govt use it as an excuse to say "not our fault guv its local now" of course local politicians welcome it because they can pretend they have a cabinet that matters and they puff themselves up,it's also a place for failed Westminster politicians.

And I can provide you a dozen "that is a devolved matter" letters from my waste of space and overpaid (as she only does 40% of the work of an english one) MP match paired with an equivalent "it's londons fault they won't fund us" response from the cardiff bay wastrels.

I don't know if it's a disaster or not for Scotland at the moment, but it's storing up trouble for the future because it's always been seen as a step on the road to independence.

Any devolution in UK, or at least in the Great Britain part of it, should have been on a regional basis with each region being granted the same devolved powers.

Simply put, The Conservative Party's proper title includes the word Unionist which means any Tory favouring devolution should generally have been thrown out of the party as a heretic.

Devolution as implemented and plotted by Blair is of course a godsend to the tories, who, when the scots bugger off will no longer have those seats (most of which they never held since the act of union) opposite them, and when the welsh follow suit another thirty odd opponents will vanish leaving labour aspirations of government of Little England as a hopeless fantasy.
