- nephihaha 4mo agoDevolution came about because of the reverse. Parts of Wales were flooded to provide England with water, which destroyed Treweryn and other communities... All but one Welsh MP voted against that. There were many times during the 1980s and even when Margaret Thatcher introduced legislation that was unpopular in Scotland. The Poll Tax was the culmination of this, and was imposed on Scotland before anywhere in the UK. England can outvote Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland's MPs combined so the West Lothian Question is not as big of an issue for England as the reverse.
