George Square in Glasgow is basically a no-go zone for a few days methinks. What a national embarrassment.

Its when they start emulating the ISIS people will have to worry.
Not quite. Scotland, Wales and N.Ireland all have their own parliaments with limited powers, but the UK Parliament still makes all the rules for England. At the moment they have half of a federal system.
Pretty much like Europe... It's not perfect, but so wasn't the Federal system in the US when it started, gotta iron out the kinks.
In the past Scottish MPs from Labour have been able to force results on England while remaining personally unaffected, which is rather undemocratic. However, if the (mainly Labour and Lib Dem) MPs from Scotland can no longer vote on issues which don't affect them then there's a strong swing to the Conservatives.
Cameron has now tied further devolution for Scotland to the answering of the West Lothian question. This is very popular in England as the electorate are looking for a bit of balance after all this Scottish pandering, but puts Labour in an impossible position. Support the plan and lose power on English issues or stand against the plan and be seen as betraying Scotland and England at the same time.
