The West Lothian Question

The West Lothian Question concerns whether Members of Parliament (MPs) from Scotland, Wales, or Northern Ireland should still be able to vote on laws that only affect England, since those nations have their own devolved governments to handle local issues. This creates a perceived imbalance: English voters have no equivalent representatives affecting their local laws, while MPs from other parts of the UK do. It's essentially about fairness in legislative power, questioning whether these MPs should have voting rights on matters that don't impact their own regions, to ensure equal representation and avoid the perception of some voters having more influence than others.
