The most annoying thing about this is the lack of information regarding the responents' nationality.

It is mentioned with regard to the poll overall, but not with regard to each question. Scots and Welsh MPs comprise 15% of Westminter's MPs, but 21% of the poll's respondents.

Maybe the most revealing findings of the this report is the willingness of non-English MPS to interfere in matters that don't concern them (WLQ in a nutshell!)

It's the views of the Tory MPs that appear to be making the headlines, and there aren't many Scottish Tory MPs.

 

On the Record

Does the Prime Minister agree with his colleagues both past and present who signed the Claim of Right based on the sovereignty of the Scottish people or does he, as was widely reported before the general election, still believe that sovereignty rests with him as an English Member of Parliament?
