38 degrees have just sent me this link to a survey regarding how the Scottish referendum could now affect how we are governed in England:

Here's their full email:
Scotland has voted ‘no’ to independence. [1] Whether you’re celebrating or disappointed, Scottish people had a say. We have the result - but what next for the UK?
In England, we’ve watched as Scotland’s debated its future. In pubs, on buses, in schools, everyone in Scotland joined in.
South of the border, we just haven’t had the same debate. But the tide is turning. This morning, David Cameron said that it was time for “the millions of voices in England to be heard”. [2] But can we trust him to truly listen? Politicians will be keen to move on from the campaign that’s scarred them all.
If we act fast, together, we could use the momentum started in Scotland to shape the political system we want to see.
Is there too much power in Westminster? What needs to change? Click here to take a 2 minute survey on what 38 Degrees members could demand in England:

What's the main problem with our politics? Are we too focused on Westminster? Should cities have more power? How about regional parliaments, or an English one? What would spark the kind of revival of democracy we’ve seen north of the border?
These questions are way too important to be left to politicians. So let's come together quickly to decide what sort of politics we want to see - and get a real debate going before the political class shut it down.
Improving our political system is no easy feat, but we know that when we work together we can make amazing things happen. We’ve stopped the sale of our forests and the closure of our hospitals. Right now 38 Degrees members are pushing for a law that would let voters sack bad MPs. [3]
We’ve got an opportunity here: let’s make the most of our power.
(With apologies if this has already been covered in the other threads, I haven't had time to catch up on them today!)
What do you think would go well with coasters like this?
