I think that the "Union" environment is much like the "UK environment" - the UK is England with laws create by the English parliament but influenced by Scotland, Wales, and Ireland - essentially they are virtually union members in the UK ... it's been very helpful for hundreds of years - we're a great country because we're trying to keep everyone in all of the UK happy, not just a few MP's in London. I'm English but always seen the views and cultures of people in Scotland, Wales, and Ireland as very helpful in reality even if they make me see our English mistakes (currently Windrush, Brexit and the NI protocol etc).
