I wish it were possible to move UKIP on the issue of a separate English Parliament. To my mind that would put UKIP ahead of the process which the Conservatives will be driven to adopt at some stage.
The longer the present situation continues and the more respectable English people feel aggrieved at the marked difference in treatment between them and people in Scotland and Wales, the more likely the UK will fragment.

I would be interested to learn from Cassie and Britannist, how they would achieve the creation of their federal UK, and an English parliament in particular, bearing in mind, we the taxpayer are thoroughly sick of the cost of politicians and their lovely expense accounts, and we don't want any more thank you. Oh yes, we the taxpayers saw how much was spent on that monstrosity of a building in Edinburgh for the Scottish parliament. We don't want to spend any money on fancy new buildings or anything like that.
You see, whatever way you try and sell it, the federal idea is going to cost a lot of money. As you two are among the most vocal of supporters of a federal UK, please demonstrate to the rest of the forum how you both would bring this about, and how it could work.
