The West Lothian Answer

I am Scottish and British.

I have great respect for those who want a totally Independent Scotland as it is a honourable position to hold. However, I do not agree with them and believe the Union is stronger economically and unique in its ability to allow expression of own country and pride in being British.

I am ashamed at the current inequality of the unbalanced Union. The current arrangement of Scottish MPs voting on matters that only concern England whilst excluding English MPs from voting on Scottish matters is wrong. Its not fair. It is not honourable.

The solution is to have 1 MP for each Scottish constituency representing their constituents in the Houses of Parliament and also representing them in Edinburgh when the Scottish Parliament sits. There must also be the same arrangement in England with English MPs forming an English Parliament.

Inconsistencies in Health, Education and Welfare must not be allowed to happen with no financial penalty.

The conflicts are being cleverly created but the Scottish people know it is an embarrassment to the country and must stop it before it causes uncontrollable resentment.

British based Jobs for people

British jobs for British people was what Gordon Brown said. This is inflammatory, has a tinge of racism and is economically stupid.

Everyone is attacking Brown saying its time to deliver...well he can't, either can Cameron. The problem is we have an open house policy that allows too many non-British people to come to our country and take advantage of our economy and our Welfare, Education and Health systems.

Only UKIP among the mainstream parties can control immigration and ensure priority for legal immigrants and British residents. The EU opens our borders to the world.

There is no point trade unionists holding wildcat strikes, being indignant and then voting Labour or Conservative. Why lose pay and demonstrate in the streets if the fault is your own. Wake up and smell the coffee. Vote UKIP, get out of the EU, control our borders, ignite trade with our former friends of the commonwealth. Work with the new world not the old. Grow British based jobs for all people who are legally entitled to be here.
