A Telegraph 'comment' article today, from the pen of Jack Straw, has once again reiterated the nonsense argument that "English votes for English laws" would break up the union.

He says,

David Cameron's policy of "English votes for English laws" might seem like a neat and tidy solution to the so-called "West Lothian Question", the debate about whether Scottish MPs should be able to vote on matters only affecting England, but in practice it would lead to constitutional chaos and the break-up of the United Kingdom.

Whether or not one agrees with the idea of "English votes for English laws", this argument is pathetic. The Scots have "Scottish votes for Scottish and English laws", and so have already created that other notorious ant-EvfEl argument; that it would create two classes of MPs in Westminster.

The Labour party are getting more ridiculous and delusional by the day. And the sad thing is that, should an autumn election be called, the brainless idiots who are the British public will once again almost certainly return them in a majority. To say that it's worrying is an understatement.
