It is a very importan matter that really needs to be address. If we had a proper arrangement to deal with this issue Gordon Brown would not be able to vote in the house of commons on many issues which would be right and proper since his electoate are not affected by English issues.

If he really wanted to do that, then the place to start would be English Votes on English Laws, to prevent democratically unaccountable Scottish MPs voting on English matters that have nowt to do with them. http://www.power2010.org.uk/votes/entry/english-votes-on-english-laws/ AV is just a fudge. Neither one thing or the other. If we're not going to have proper PR then we may as well stick with FPTP.
