All the excitements are over now.
Yes ! Scotland has decided . . . .
All the arguments of will it? or will it not ? has ended.
But the big question is, has it resolved all the problems or started some new ones. Well the short lived unity among the so called big three political parties has ended mutually.
New suspicions has been created in the minds of the political parties and they have once again withdrawn themselves back within their party lines calculating their self interest.
Prime minister has reiterated his support for greater devolution for Scottish assembly but has introduced a new condition that it should coincident with their last election pledge of Only English MP`s vote for English issues.
On the outset there is nothing wrong in calling for English MP`s vote for English issues but according to Labour party this undermines their chances of governing UK if they come to power.
The fact is that a Labour majority is always secured with large Scottish MP`s support. Then according to political analysts if there was a Labour government they would be in the majority for one day and will not have the majority another day.
Then one should ask the question of should a reasonable call for English MP`s for English issues be denied because that would be against a particular political party`s interest ?
Well the other suggestion is that it may be time for Labour party to do a soul searching to find out why that they are unable to gain enough support in England. In that case should Labour party ask a question that are they representing the aspirations of the English regions of UK.
It has given a spring in the steps of Nationalist parties like UKIP and English Democrats. I suppose that it gives them a chance to clean themselves of racist elements and involve in a true general national aspiration.
Big constitutional questions have arose aftermath of Scottish "no" vote. There have been big concessions promised to Scottish assembly in the final stages of the referendum by none other than the governing party of UK.
Well it is now time to put their words into action. And a unified approach between the political parties is required now more than ever.
But will the leaders of the major political parties will be brave enough to take bold steps for the greater good of the country.
It is a waiting game is it not ?
