Voters oppose Scottish PM

This situation comes as no great surprise:

A majority of English voters think Scottish MPs should be barred from becoming the UK's prime minister, according to a BBC survey.

This is an indication that unequal devolution has worsened people's perception of politics and democracy in general across Britain and especially across England. As the understanding of accountability and mandate by people in post devolution Britain grows we can expect to see this kind of situation get even worse. The sooner something effective is done about it the better.
