UKIP Executive rejects English Parliament Policy & Devolution for England




The policy paper, written by Paul Nuttall MEP, was a complete rewrite of UKIP’s badly written, unworkable devolution policy which basically involved abolishing the devolved governments in Scotland and Wales (but not NI) and replacing them with Grand Committees of British MPs.
This new policy paper had no such retrograde suggestions in it. The current British House of Commons would be replaced with an English Parliament with English MPs, an English Executive and an English First Minister. The House of Lords would be replaced by the British Parliament with British MPs, the British Executive and the British Prime Minister and will scrutinise legislation for all four home nations.
There were a couple of gaps in the policy paper but it was only a two-page précis, for example it did not address as to what changes would be made to the Scottish Parliament, Welsh Assembly and Northern Irish Assembly? The policy proposal document from UKIP was very anglo-centric so some questions needed answering about how it would affect Scotland, Wales and NI when the policy paper woould have been expanded upon, if rattified by the UKIP National Executive.
Since this policy was announced there have been numerous concerns on the UKIP members’ forum on it with the usual hardline Unionists within UKIP show their concerns about devolution, claiming that the proposals would be expensive, creates more politicians, etc.
This policy paper needed to be ratified to make it into the manifesto, and given the opposition from UKIP Wales, there was no certainty that this would occur.
Indeed within the last two weeks the matter has gone before the UKIP National Executive and the Unionist Majority within the UKIP National Executive have voted against the policy proposal.
UKIP will now not have an English Parliament Policy.

Retreat to your twin interests of Leaking and doing nothing.......... You convince no-one......

Tim Adwood, whoever he is, is talking total bollox. The proposal has not been rejected and I say that as staunch opponent of an English Parliament.

My name is Tim Adwood you do not have to be Rude.........



I am Right you wait and see..........

The majority og UKIP members are against an English Parliament per sey. That said I have no heard any such decision having been take, as for Tim Adwood being his own name, it seems the only history for said chap is the BDF.

According to a source in UKIP I have it on good authority that the English parliment idea has not been rejected or diluted.
As it has not been policy yet and as the Eng Par policy is still be formed then it can not be diluted as being diluted seems to assume that a policy was finished and then has been changed.
