I agree Cassie - it is time for England to have a referendum of her own. Never in the history of England have we - the people of England- had a referendum of our own on any matter (the EEC/EU 'staying in or getting out referendum of 1975 was, of course, a pan-UK vote). The other parts of the UK have all had one constitutional referendum of their own each - some two.

The voice of England must be heard - the people of England must be allowed a say on their future. There has to be a referendum in England on establishing an England Parliament to match the powers of the one Scotland now has within the Union of the UK.
