Over the years, nationalist and unionist sentiments have shifted over time in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.
Serious political crises have arisen as a result of increased nationalist sentiment, and in recent years, separate legislatures have been created in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland to cater to demands for increased autonomy.
Has devolution proven beneficial? Should England have its own legislature as well, despite there being little appetite for it? If each major region in the UK had its own legislature, what should be the role of Parliament?
Should the UK have more of a confederation-style of government, or should it be shifted back to having a more centralized model? Perhaps a bit extreme, but do you believe it would be favorable for each nation in the UK to "go its own way" and become fully independent within the UK?
Ultimately, do you believe there is a common ground that can be reached that would satisfy almost everybody?
This seems to be a quite divisive issue among Britons, and I would be interested in hearing your responses.
