Rejected petition English Referendum for Devolution from Scotland and Wales

More details

English people should be given a referendum on whether they want to continue to subsidize Wales and Scotland. Devolution has left England paying to support lower tuition fees, free elderly care, free hospital parking, free prescriptions etc. for Scottish and Welsh residents whilst being expected to pay more for these same services in England.
Why should the English wait for the Scottish to decide whether they want to remain in Union? Give English people the right to have their say.
