Default Ask the English?...Oh No that is far too dangerous!

So why haven’t we, the English been given an opportunity to vote on whether we would like a Parliament of our own? Surely, if it’s ‘right and proper’ that the Scots, Welsh and Northern Irish were given a referendum on National determination, why isn’t it also ‘right and proper’ to give the same consideration to the English?

Is it right that the Scots, Welsh and Northern Irish all have a double vote of
democracy. Both their own National legislature - as well as that of the UK
Westminster model - yet I as an Englishman only have one. Why am I being
democratically disenfranchised?

My Son cannot afford to pay for university tuition fees - and so will not be going
into further education. His contemporaries in Scotland do not have this problem,
as tuition fees have been abolished.

Is this all part of the ‘Union Dividend’?

If, as government ministers are always telling us, ‘devolution has strengthened
the Union’, - why are all three national legislatures either wholly or partly run
by Nationalist politicians?
