I have to say I agree with English Democrat, I once had a Welsh person tell me how much better their education system is then the English one, well that's because we in England are paying for it.
And the idea of Scotland having two Parliaments, one for Scottish issues and then the London based Parliament for UK matters, it's just another complete and utter waste of taxpayers money creating more beaurocracy then we already have (like we need it).
I heard earlier in the year Northern Ireland send the UK government £1 for every £3 that is spent there, we are running the UK at a massive loss but that loss could be diminished if we were to lose some "dead weight" as it were.
Disclaimer: I have nothing against the Scots, Irish or Welsh, my Grandfather is Scottish and I actually grew up in South Africa so this isn't about race or even nationality, this is about efficiency and having the smallest government possible.
