Yes, all MPs should be able to vote on all issues, and parliament should be reformed to have more proportional representation.

 @BCVPJ8Canswered…5 days5D

Yes, because England and Westminster clearly has a say on how legislation is made in Wales etc. Not directly, but financially they control the budget that ultimately each country has, so indirectly they have a say. So we should have a say on that.. for example HS2 would not be a Wales & England project if this was implemented, and Wales would be owed billions in funding!

 @BCTS9MZGreenanswered…6 days6D

 @BCRH9QSanswered…1wk1W

No, and Northern England, Southern England, and Cornwall should have devolved administrations. All devolved governments should have the same powers.

 @BBQGW3Yanswered…2mos2MO

Westminster and Assembly legislation should be seperated. However some legislation for laws affecting only part of the UK will exist and all MP's should vote on that.

 @BBHTSYZanswered…2mos2MO

No. The UK should be a federal system, but there should be votes where there are cross-border implications to prevent unilateral communication and encourage co-operation between federal states to benefit the whole.

 @B8KPRQFanswered…5mos5MO

Yes, as long as English MPs can vote on legislation that only effects Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland too.

 @B6WQPYWanswered…8mos8MO

No, They should only be able to vote for laws affecting their own country, including England voting on Welsh laws etc

 @9WQKFWKanswered…1yr1Y

I believe a Confederation is more ideal and allow each region to decide their own legislation in their own regions.

 @B9DZ6RWanswered…3mos3MO

Yes, all MPs should be able to vote for all laws in Parliament. England also has a supermajority of parliamentary representation and Welsh, Scottish and Northern Irish MPs often abstain on England-only legislation anyway.

 @B9DKQ95answered…3mos3MO

No, all MPs have a right to vote on all legislation that goes through Parliament. England has a supermajority of the parliamentary representation so Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish MPs wont tend to make a massive impact and many abstain on many England-only legislation anyways.

 @9ZV4F9Yanswered…1yr1Y

No, but introduced a devolved Parliament where english matters are voted on instead of having Westminster vote on English matters

 @9ZGY5RYConservativeanswered…1yr1Y

Westminster MP's from anywhere should have the ability to vote on issues that affect anywhere in the union

 @9M6SKGPanswered…2yrs2Y

No, no MP should be entitled to vote on legislation which only affects a region they are not an MP within.

 @9M5YHWGanswered…2yrs2Y

If England can still vote on policies that affect other regions then those regions should also have a say in policies that affect England

 @9L9XJ9Ffrom Florida  answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, as things currently stand the UK is highly England-centric and as such it would be hard to draw a definitive line

 @9K2WQV7answered…2yrs2Y

Not able to voted on law issue what have being to nation parliament and full voted on budget so there full questionable for there voted on ot

 @9K2BXTRanswered…2yrs2Y

Law that not impact on budget only and if for example education matter then why Scottish MPs when fully controlled by Scottish Parliament

 @9HVFGG5answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, the UK must be dissolved, Scottish, Welsh, Irish and English must vote only on legislation that affect their own countries, and there should be no common legislation (which is inevitably bound to be always English-led)

 @9G5MCLJanswered…3yrs3Y

They should be using the Barnett formula, but should only vote on legislation that has cross-border implications.

 @9FM4K3Panswered…3yrs3Y

Yes, they are a part of the British empire and deserve to have a say in what goes on in the country.

 @9F3GDHKfrom Georgia  answered…3yrs3Y

Reform the United Kingdom back into a personal union under a constitutional monarch.

 @9BCX7YFanswered…3yrs3Y

 @8XT95FLanswered…4yrs4Y

Yes but they should practice restraint on voting on such issues unless they believe it directly affects their constituency

 @9V3X3ZZanswered…2yrs2Y

No, invade wales and Scotland. Now we are the United Kingdom of England and Ireland (yes, invade Ireland too). Hahahaha! 😂

 @9NZZK8Canswered…2yrs2Y

Yes, Westminster MP's should vote on all UK legislation remembering there are 3 different judiciary systems; while devolved matters should be voted on in the Scottish; English; Welsh; & Northern Irish Parliaments.

 @9NMKFSQanswered…2yrs2Y

No. But if so, then English MPs should be entitled to vote on legislation which only affects areas of the UK outside England.

 @9NKPDH9answered…2yrs2Y

independence for members of the uk and reunification of ireland but there should be a british isles union similar to the eu

 @9NJXNNKanswered…2yrs2Y

Reform the UK into a federal system that duplicates parliament across all countries and keep the Crown as head of state.

 @9N7DJSFanswered…2yrs2Y

All Westminster MP's vote on all Westminster and MP's in all other Parliaments inc England's new Parliament vote on theirs.

There should be a new English parliament then MP's can vote on matters across the UK within the UK wide legislature, but taking consideration that the UK still has (and should have) 3 judiciary systems. The excective must remember that while it puts bills before parliament on behalf of the Crown like the Crown the Executive is still subject to Parliament. It need not sit in Westminster (though it currently does) and if as King James once suggested it moved to Carlisle; then the English parliament shouldn't consider London but could consider another historic seat of England's parliaments, or even the fact that they used to move about!

 @9N7DJSFanswered…2yrs2Y

Yes, and all MP's should vote on all issues that are in Westminster. England should have an English parliament not in Westminster so that Westminster MP's are all equal.

 @9MCPFV6Labouranswered…2yrs2Y

Reform the UK into a federal system; and rescind the Barnett Formula for once and for all, never to be restored.

 @9NG8MLYSNPanswered…2yrs2Y

No as; Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland should be entirely devolved to make their own laws and legislation.

 @9N83WDTanswered…2yrs2Y

No, and so english mos should not be allowed to vote on legislation that only effects NI, Wales and Scotland

 @9MYXHM9Count Binfaceanswered…2yrs2Y

No, the English government should have further power over Welsh, Scottish and NI legislation. We are a “United” Kingdom until one of them figures out how to successfully go independent.

 @9M98F7Hanswered…2yrs2Y

Abolish the UK and allow the countries to become independent and rejoin the EU if they require. Also Tax England for services being used that are based in other countries such as Scotland's Oil and Wale's wind and water.

 @96Q59LVanswered…4yrs4Y

Scottish independence or a true federal system where Scotland controls 100% of it's affairs.

 @93QTGYXanswered…4yrs4Y

Yes but devolved bodies should be given less power to ensure parliamentary laws are followed across the entire nation

 @93GT7XNanswered…4yrs4Y

Yes but reduce the power of devolved parliaments to give the UK parliament more power

 @93CWHDXanswered…4yrs4Y

If England votes on Welsh, Scottish and Northern Irish issues then the same should happen in return

 @92KVTKQanswered…4yrs4Y

The premise of question is flawed. Since we are UNITED Kingdom, decisions affecting one region affect all others, whether directly or indirectly.

 @8ZJ5BGGCount Binfaceanswered…4yrs4Y

England should be given its own parliament so this problem does not exist

 @8SMPFW4Greenanswered…5yrs5Y

 @8S999N9answered…5yrs5Y

I support devolution if the relevant countries so desire. It is otherwise hypocritical given that we have left the EU.

 @8S8VZMMGreenanswered…5yrs5Y

Only if it could hypothetically impact the national economy, and thus the funding received by the devolved assemblies

 @8S8437LSNPanswered…5yrs5Y

 @8S7FLZNSNPanswered…5yrs5Y

No, as long as English, Welsh and Irish MPs cannot vote on Scottish matters.

 @8S4BRBVanswered…5yrs5Y

The rule of the individual is more efficient than the government can ever be

 @8S3YCCRSNPanswered…5yrs5Y

 @8RNZ4SWanswered…5yrs5Y

Legislations in the UK should be applied to each UK nation and ammendments allowed by each nation's parliament but only with approval from the superior UK Parliament.

 @8R8DYXGanswered…5yrs5Y

No, because they shouldn’t be able to vote on English affairs, because we aren’t one country. #indyref2

 @8QR7QCLanswered…5yrs5Y

No because England will have devolution on a regional level and the House of Commons would only vote on issues affecting the whole of the UK.

 @8QMWC55Greenanswered…5yrs5Y

My answer depends on whether indirect effects on devolved nations e.g. are considered when determining whether or not a policy only affects England

 @8Q2Q37Xanswered…5yrs5Y

Yes, as long as any MP can vote on matters that only effect one of the countries in the UK

 @8KPC55Ranswered…5yrs5Y

 @8KMLMVDanswered…5yrs5Y

 @8JSPHMCanswered…6yrs6Y

Reform the UK into a more federal system and break up the nationalist-separatist dominated devolved parliamentary regions so they end up with less power. Devolve them into irrelevancy.

 @8D9MDTCanswered…6yrs6Y

No, only for legislation that has cross-border implications. Also, English MP's should not be able to vote on legislation which affects only Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland

 @98W3JR6answered…3yrs3Y

No, and England should not vote on legislation that will only impact Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland either.

 @96SMGRPanswered…3yrs3Y

On my opinion England is like the middle and the power and they should have the right to vote because they’re part of the United Kingdom to not only England.

 @DAVIEBrexitanswered…5yrs5Y

There would be no need to establish it under Liquid Democracy as devolved assemblies would eventually collapse due to a new democratic order made by the people.

 @8SNPKTFanswered…5yrs5Y

English MPs should not be allowed to vote on matters that impact devolved parliaments

 Deletedanswered…6yrs6Y

No. Remove the Scottish and Welsh Assemblies and let all MPs vote on issues from across the island. Pro-Centralisation of Great Britain. Unite the nation politically whilst retaining what ever cultural and heritage differences that already exist between England, Wales and Scotland.

 @9CN7S3Danswered…3yrs3Y

only is england can vote on issues in wales northern ireland and scotland

 @9CMD3K2answered…3yrs3Y

No, only if English MP's in the house of Commons, cannot vote on issues in Scotland.

 @9C3JYZHanswered…3yrs3Y

No, They should get to vote legislation if it affects all. So, English MP's wouldn't be able to vote for legislation that only affects Wales, Scotland and NI

 @9C2CNX4answered…3yrs3Y

If English MP's can vote on matters that effect other UK countries then so should those countries vote on Emglish issues.

 @9BY65PNLabouranswered…3yrs3Y

Yes if it would make English people more or less equal than Welsh, Scottish or Northern Irish people

 @9BQTQX4Labouranswered…3yrs3Y

 @9BJNJBCanswered…3yrs3Y

Always the UK is united so weather England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland everybody must vote on legislation.

 @962KL2Y from GU  answered…3yrs3Y

 @9B3XPR5 from Michigan  answered…3yrs3Y

As long as these three entities are occupied by the British, then they should absolutely have a say in what occurs in England. Ideally, this would not need to be a conversation as Wales and Scotland would be independent and Ireland would be reunited.
