English-only votes for English-only laws

I often find that the performance of regional or local politicians puts national politicians to shame. And that's saying something.

I do too. They seem more approachable and talk as if they know what is at fault and have a genuine interest in the people that voted them in. What's interesting is that from what was reported by people in Scotland, Salmond was very approachable while other party leaders - Cameron, Miliband and Clegg - were cold and uninterested in speaking to people.

Oh no, see I meant the other way around. That as poor as national figures are, regional/local are even worse for wasteful spending etc.

Oh yeah, they're terrible at spending. It's why you have a central government to kick them in the right direction. Essex is notorious for spending.
