What do you mean?
Salmond wants independence for Scotland so he changed his angle of attack and promoted an exclusively English parliament for England. Clever. Also funny, an attribute rarely seen since Harold Wilson.

Geez, Wilson was yet another Scottish Prime Minister. Lol.

Edit; Hey, looking at the pics in post #43, do you see the similarities between Salmond and Ernie Bilko ?

Harold Wilson was English. He was from Huddersfield.

English MPs can't currently vote on matters devolved to Scotland whilst Scottish MPs can vote on the same issues affecting England.

In light of this, it would be extremely hard for Salmond not to support an exclusive English parliament without seeming a tad hypocritical in his belief of a Scotland free of English influence.

Re: Salmond seeks UN representation

They would almost be if the mighty, noble county of Northumberland didn't guard the border.

As it stands though, Huddersfield is closer to the Welsh border than it is to Scotland.

Extremely hard? It would be idiotic. Unfortunately, the parliament at Westmonster is, allegedly the parliament of the UK/GB and as such legislates for the whole of the UK/GB, which is patently absurd. "Devolution" for Scotland, Wales and N.I. has had the effect of disenfranchising the English.

This is unconsionable - these placeholders (I prefer the term boot-lickers when I'm being polite) had no right to vote to impose something in England which has been discarded in their own country. Here I'm referring primarily to (allegedly) Labour MPs.
