I am 100% against this. The vast majority of powers held by the regions should be returned to county and city councils.

English "independence" within the EU will hinder the struggle against the EU.
Manchester, Birmingham, Liverpool and Bristol will be within 50 miles of an international border. Giving the Eurocrats the power to impose border controls so near British cities is lunatic. |
In what way would it hinder anything?
As it is now Britishness just wont sell in Scotland and Wales and with 31% of English people now backing independence it sells even less well here.
So the hinderance now is the UK itself and the British Wide movements who seek EU withdrawl.
As for local government I would rather see things ran by Central Government than mini Soviet state slike Liverpool and Manchester.
