The best people to decide on whether we should have an Independent England or England within a Federal UK/Britain, I personally believe is the people of England in a referendum, but there are some things we will "loose" if we go the whole independence route.

Naturally you may think this is worth sacrificing, but hopefullly these thoughts do add to the debate.

My personal driving factor for why we need a Federal UK policy is because I believe it is easier to explain in a non-extremist way.

However as I have said many times, policy is not as importat as marketing, image and name recognition.
