Today is the 300th anniversary of Parliament's ratification of the Act of Union between England and Scotland. The SNP are calling for Scotland to become an independent country. Of course the UK Independence Party believe that the Union should continue provided that most English people want it to, and provided that most Scottish people want it to.

But the UK government has given extra powers to the Scottish Parliament - no problem with that, if that's what the people of Scotland want. However, this has created an extra tier of politicians and many people in England now complain that Scottish MPs in Westminster vote on issues that don't affect Scotland at all.

Is there a way to sort out this mess, and find a fair way to protect the Union? Jonathan Arnott said, "The UK Independence Party has a strong policy on this issue, which you can read here. We can sack dozens of politicians to save money, and at the same time create an English Parliament so that England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are all treated fairly."
