An English Parliament? No, This Instead

Good grief, imagine who would stand for an English Parliament (and yes, I am aware that I might well be eating my words if it were ever actually to be set up), or who would turn out to vote for such a thing! The latter would be very few in number, but that would only make them all the more dangerous. And the former would be "elected" from party lists. NOOOOO!

The SNP isn't going to win on Thursday, and support for independence itself in Scotland is now at pre-Braveheart levels, though continuing to decline. Plaid Cymru doesn't know what it thinks, and isn't worth thinking about.

So let's get on with rebuilding our country, Britain, with a strong Parliament and strong local government able to tell an over-mighty executive where to go, an over-mighty judiciary where to go, Brussels where to go, and Washington where to go.

That is what people in all parts of the United Kingdom want.
