Scotland and Northern Ireland both have their own legislatures. -- nm - Roger More Nov 23, 18:52 7
- Exactly. The UK is already a hollow body. Why should Wales be less a partner than Scotland and Northern Ireland? -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Nov 23, 19:06 5
  - What more independence could be granted, but still be short of full independence? -- nm - Roger More Nov 23, 19:11 4
    - Does any legislation passed in London affect citizens of Scotland? -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Nov 23, 19:15 3
      - legislation passed in Bruxelles and Strasburg also affect scotland -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Nov 23, 20:11
      - I expect so - immigration and defence, for example. Scotland would also be bound by the UK's foreign policy and treaty obligations - Roger More Nov 23, 19:27 1
        
        Here's the list of reserved powers. (Energy would be the one that affects Scotland the most) -- (link) - Roger More Nov 23, 19:32
- (Wales too, but I had to check that one) -- nm - Roger More Nov 23, 18:56
