I'm not sure about money flows but think it's probably swings and roundabouts, TBH. But regarding MPs voting, unless it is a free vote then I think you will find that they vote according to the Party line and so their nationality/country of residence is irrelevant.
Now the fun starts when Cameron and Microband (I omit Clegg - he's never going to be PM, in fact he'll be lucky to still be an MP after May) realise they have no mandate to deliver the promises they've made, and will struggle to get anything through a Parliament full of English MP's who are already fed up with subsidising Scotland.

So many tools, so little to show
Whatever they decide, I do hope it is given enough thought and debate. Rushing through legislation is never a good idea.

All this talk of more devolution, English Parliament etc is IMO so divisive and adds more and more layers of complexity and cost. I think all the regional or whatever you want to call them parliaments should go. We are, after all, the United Kingdom. Or at least, should be.

A real mixture of feelings ....... Just like the mother in law driving off a cliff in my brand new BMW!
Delighted the Union is 'safe' but I will not easily forgive the silly person Cameron for putting it at risk the way he has. The no campaign was a disgrace and promising even more 'stuff' at the expense of the English voter will bite him hard at the next election.
Unfortunately, now the Union is safe we'll have another 300 years of the scots whining that 'it's not fair' and I'm not sure how much more of that I can stand!
I think this will lead to a significant change in British politics as I don't think we can continue as we are without ending up with an even more mickey mouse lot running the show (please ...... no UKIP!).
PS - I don't have a BMW and my MiL was a rather special, wonderful person!

There are 18 of them I am not sure if any of them have ever sat in the house but they are there. Also 40 from Wales and 59 from Scotland. An interesting side note on the debate on an English parliament while Scotland voted in its own Parliament for no tuition fees for university the Scottish MPs in the commons voted for them in England. If they had not been eligible to vote on this as it was an English only matter there would be no tuition fees in England either.

I'd sooner tell you to do one from the forum instead :roll: :roll:
Well, as an English person living in Scotland and hoping for a closer vote at least, the postings on here have certainly convinced me that UKIP is just the tip of a very nasty iceberg in ENGLISH politics.
