Independence: Do the English feel left out?

[EIFII]

So with the 40 odd Scottish MPs gone from Westminster, the remaining MPs will be able to vote on purely English and Welsh affairs. Given the imbalance in populations and representation between England and Wales, it seems only fair to allow the Welsh their own assembly in Cardiff.

Remind me why all the main English parties are arguing in favour of retaining the Union????

Reminds me that when I was in uni in the north of England in the 90's, there was talk then of a northern England regional assembly, to meet in York or Durham. Pity it never got off the ground.... May be we could have another regional assembly for the south west too, with special additional autonomy granted to Cornwall. The list goes on, personally I think Rutland should be granted its own assembly too; a very special corner of England.

No, it's all going to be great, as Dee from Benefit Street is going to be an MP. http://www.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrit...te-dee-4187393 Then we'll have a good mix of MP's that are clueless about living on the bread line and one that knows how to play it like a violin.

Life in England will be sweet!
