Calcutta Cup Grudge Rematch will bring English their parliament?

That seems to be the implication of this article by Philip Johnston in the Daily Telegraph:

The 1990 Calcutta Cup was a grudge match for the Scots, but now the discontent has moved to England, says Philip Johnston

I hope those were present at that momentous game in 1990 knew they were watching an historic change in the tide of men...appparently:

The background is set out in a new book called The Grudge, which suggests that the game on March 17, 1990 was the point when the momentum towards Scottish devolution became unstoppable. This extract from the publisher's synopsis gives you the general idea: "Will Carling's England are the very embodiment of Margaret Thatcher's Britain – snarling, brutish and all-conquering. Scotland are the underdogs – second-class citizens from a land that's become the testing ground for the most unpopular tax in living memory: Thatcher's poll tax...In Edinburgh, nationalism is rising high – what happens in the stadium will resound far beyond the pitch."

Dear, oh dear, a case of ever so slightly over-cooking the haggis there.

Anyway, Johnston goes onto to link that game and the political situation of the time with this weekend's fixture between the two countries and the democratic deficit suffered by England that the various devolution experiments have brought about. The comparison is shakey.

Despite the recent wobbles, we're going to see a Conservative government shortly, a Conservative government in charge of a House of Commons the vast majority of whose members represent English constituencies. Unlike the perceived situation in Scotland 1990, English devolution, a parliament or even EVoEM can not be prevented by MPs solely from other parts of the UK but from England itself. Therefore the English voters, if they rate the concern highly enough, are in a position to make it an election issue...will they though?
