Many English Democrats members were Unionists before 1997, however now that Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have been given devolution it seems

1 Unlikely that the process of devolution will be reversed.

2 Only fair that England should also have its own Parliament (or the House of Commons converted to an English Parliament, by removal of Scots, Welsh and Northern Irish MPs) - currently England is constitutionally disadvantaged.

3 Finally a Federal UK/Britain could then be created with a Fully Elected 2nd reviewing chamber (British Senate) reviewing for the respective Country Parliaments) - the Brisith Senate would also deal with all common policy for defence, foreign policy etc - the British Senate elected by Proportionate Representation.

============================================
As none of the other 'main' British Parties are leading on this, then if UKIP adopted for the domestic General Election, then it is certainly something that would grab the publics attention !
