UKIP policy is to get rid of the present EU-backed Scottish Parliament and let the Scottish constituency MPs do the job of the 129 members of the Scottish Parliament instead. While the Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish constituency MPs were away from the Commons deliberating on internal Scottish matters, the House of Commons would deal with and vote on exclusively English issues.
