The promise of some formal international authority and responsibility for the Scottish Government is interesting, and isn't promised for the Welsh Government either. The messy piecemeal devolution between Scotland, Wales, NI and English regions/cities needs standardisation.

In all current debates about NATO or EU expansion I find it remarkable how the efforts many governments in Bucharest, Warsaw, Helsinki or Prague went to between 1990 and 2008 to build good strategic and trade relations with Moscow have been completely memory holed in discussion
