It appears that with most things that are organised by Westminster black = white, to qualify for 'independent ' status and to get your own regional assembly you must be in receipt of massive amounts of Westminster aid, to keep you dependent on Westminster. It helps if the majority of the population are wedded to the Fabian mode of democracy. 'The Elite knows best'.

So explain to me Dave as we are all in it together and you are waving your Union Flag about, that it only takes a quarter of a million Swiss to qualify for Cantonal Status, decide their own tax affairs and all other public issues, 4.17 m Saxons can do the same, but 51 million English are entitled to no say in their own affairs, without allowing Scots,Welsh and Ulstermen tipping the balance.

Giving me 75 mins of national democracy in my life time in a rigged two and a half party state is not Democracy, it is an oligarchy.
