Interesting idea on R4 just now– a devolved english assembly in the north of England. Sounds odd but it might re-enfranchise those pissed of with being ignored by Westminster.
I think that would be a great thing to do. It's the main reason i supported Scottish independence - smaller governing bodies, more dispersed throughout the country. If that's what ends up coming out of all this then it'd be a fine thing. I've not got much hope that Cameron and co won't find a way to weasel out of any changes whatsoever, sadly.

What if...
Cameron and Milliband sat down before the referendum and agreed to slow the progress of devo max by appearing to disagree on the timetable of how the powers are transferred? Probably not true but I wouldn't put it past them.
