Having got onto this topic perhaps someone can help me out. The Tories
are against closer integration into Europe claiming loss of sovereignty
etc. If that is really the case why are they also against returning
sovereignty to Scotland and Wales?

Because the Conservatives, up until recently, was called the
Conservative and Unionist Party and has historically been against
anything that threatened the 'unity' of the United Kingdom. The modern
Tory party is an amalgamation of the original Conservative party and the
Liberal Unionists opposed to Irish Home Rule.

(Using the word modern around anything to do with Conservatives is an
oxymoron.)
