Interesting how they lump England and Wales together - assume things are different in Scotland? They obviously have managed devolution better.
It's all historical. Wales was administratively incorporated into England by Henry VIII in 1536. When the Act of Union of 1707 took place Scotland retained its own laws and suchlike.
