Ancient democracy? I think it was 1867 when the right to vote was extended to the majority of adult males in Great Britain.

If they will have "English only" MPs voting on matters affecting the English, they need to have "Gaelic only" MPs voting on matters affecting the Gaelic-speakers, and "Welsh only" MPs voting on matters affecting the Welsh-speakers.

Women only got the franchise in 1930.

A separate Parliament to legislate for England is a more practical solution.

The UK Parliament would only legislate in reserved areas that no region can handle itself.
