Is it race based though, if it is simply acknowledging historic wrongs and attempting to make positive changes for the future?

Is allowing the Scottish Parliament to exist a form of race based co governance? Because that seems to work quite well, albeit not always without issue. And Aotearoa New Zealand is slightly bigger than the UK in size, if not population (a difference for which we should all be suitably thankful), so maybe that is a workable comparison. It even has the language  and cultural aspect...

we want to address the historic wrongs and make positive change.
we dont want to legislate governance in a democracy. 
forcing 'cultural' participation will be every bit as damaging as excluding it.
it has to evolve.
anything else has proven to be too paradigm of a shift, especially for the host peoples.
(ask aboriginal elders what financial redress has done to their already battered community's)

again, im only commentating using retrospect, potentially it would be truly awesome if we could somehow pull it off. its just that no one else has thus far.
reality.


(btw culturally and ideologically the scots and the english are not that far apart)

Not that far apart?

You are not a Scot, obviously...

Btw, we are not Australia. Yet another blessing to be eternally grateful for.
