Dear Anthony
Just to clarify
Independence = complete seperation
Devolution = self rule especially for interanl matters.
=================================
Defence and Foreign Policy, would be something where a common policy for England, Wales, Scotland and even Ireland would benefit us all.
Just to clarify I personally would not have voted for Devolution for Scotland, Wales and Ireland, however now that they have been silly enough to do so, then I see no reason why England should suffer
Population UK = 60 Million
Population England = 50 Million
Population Wales = 3 Million
Population Scotland = 5 Million
Popluation Northern Ireland = 2 Million
============================================
Cornwall - yes cornwall has devolution in the form of a County Council.
But I am willing to understand more about how Cornwall could possibly stand alone as a 'Nation' - economically I believe they have a nett subsidy from the rest of England, so devolution for Cornwall is not really possible unless they want to have a lesser standard of living.
