Rifkind revives West Lothian Question

More woes for Tony Blair and his “mandate” — Rifkind revives West Lothian Question.
Update: Stuart Dickson has a couple of posts on this aswell.
This could be a big talking point. The Tories would have nothing to lose pursuing this. On the other hand, read this comment on Independence:
The Tories believe in FPTP, so they can’t whinge.
If the seats were allocated according to PR, England would have presumably ended up with a Labour LibDem coalition, since 31% of the seats wouldnt constitute any sort of mandate for the Tories.
