Musket I am not sure what my opinion on the West Lothian Question is supposed to be but as Jim pointed out already independence for Scotland would end the issue at a single stroke. I favour independence and the SNP actually don't vote on English only matters as a point of principle. You should really be asking the unionist party and unionist supporters about the West Lothian Question!

As to the bureacracy thing the point I was making was that some layers will be removed. For instance we currently have SMPs and MPs where in an independent Scotland the MPs would no longer exist! That is the most obvious example. As would the Scottish Office etc!
