I agree, but there are signs that many voters will only vote for Cameron's mob out of desperation and not with enthusiasm!
English nationalist parties must step forward and try to become visible alternatives.
Just look at the way Scots have hogged the debate this week about a referendum on Scotland's independence! No fairness or equity here! Not even wisdom, because two nations voting on the same question doubles the chances of a 'YES'!
Why should England have a say about Scotland's independence? After all, only 85% of the UK's voters are in England, and England will have to make new arrangements for deploying the Armed Forces and Trident etc etc
Why even Michael [now Lord] Forsythe expressed the opinion to Andrew Neil [it had to be another Scot, of course!] on Face-to-Face on the Parliament Channel that there should be a referendum in England on independence, but it wasn't clear whether he meant Scotland's or England's. Neil seemed incredulous, which is probably why he didn't seek clarification.
