Quote:Raise issues of concern yes but without right to vote on the final outcome. It could argued any budget given to Scotland has an impact on England.
Look Scotland's budget is linked to England's budget.
For example, if England cuts it's NHS budget, then in turn Scotland's NHS budget is cut.
But the NHS is a devolved issue. Scotland runs it's own NHS.
So Scotland must have the right to vote on English NHS matters becuase they can have a direct impact on Scotland's NHS.
You know all this whinging about Scottish influence in the English parliament, Scotland voting on English matters etc. Well you know what, tough - get over it.
I had to suffer 17 years of Tory rule that my country did not vote for. And yet again we have a Tory government, yet only one Tory MP in Scotland. Scotland did not vote Tory, but Scotland has a Tory government again.
Quote:in Scotland do you not get free NHS prescritions?
Scotland gets a fixed budget. The Scottish parliament decides how to spend that budget.
