Council Tax timebomb could blow the union apart

Over on Dizzy, an interesting article regarding Labour plans for an increase in English Council Tax if they win the election.
What is most interesting to me, is what Dizzy doesn't point out. If Labour is still in power after the next election, it will almost certainly be as a result of winning Scottish and Welsh constituencies and without a majority mandate in England. If they increase council tax in England with the votes of Scottish MPs they will be slapping English voters in the face with a big leather gauntlet, finely embroidered with the words 'Democratic Deficit'.
