A few years ago, however, a ranking member of the British royal family, whose members aren't supposed to get involved with politics, committed an indiscretion by telling me that he thought devolved parliaments were a terrible idea because they could break up the United Kingdom. The Welsh would stay with England, and maybe the Northern Irish, he said, but the Scots probably would not.

Field wants everyone to be given a say in the nation’s constitutional future and claims that if the Scots voted for independence while England voted against, the prime minister should not negotiate the union’s demise with the first minister.
