Agree

Yes, provided England is granted the same

The Conservative party has shown some interest in addressing the 'English question' and ensuring that England has a fair say in devolution matters.

Yes

The Conservative party has shown some support for devolution in the past, such as the Wales Act 2017 which granted some additional powers to the Welsh Assembly.

Slightly agree

Yes, provided England is granted the same

While the Conservative Party might be open to discussions about devolution and ensuring fairness across the UK's nations, the specific proposal to grant England the same level of devolution as Wales could be seen as complex and challenging to implement, given England's size and the lack of a clear political consensus on an English devolution model.
