Default Union of the UK, Scotland, devolution, 'regional', all-England legislature

I am a Unionist (i.e. I support the Union of the UK) - but Labour are putting our Union in danger by refusing to give equality to the people of England with the people of Scotland in the UK.

Scotland has a Parliament - England must have one too.

Devolution to EU-backed 'regional' authorities in England is not acceptable.

We want an all-England legislature unless Scotland votes to shut down the Scottish Parliament (which is not likely).

Labour don't want an all-England legislature because they know that - without the votes of Scottish Labour MPs - they've got problems getting things through in England because Labour (thank goodness) is not usually as strong in England as it is in Scotland.
