| Assuming you mean English, not British, then your idea comes across as a cobbled-up compromise - which is a very British idea but not what is needed for the long-term. It is the cobbled-together unequal devolution created by the Blair government that has brought us to the present unsatisfactory mess - we deserve a better solution going forward. Create two regional assemblies for England, North and South, meeting somewhere other than Westminster, and give the GLA equivalent powers, so that Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, Northern England, Southern England and Greater London all have separate assemblies possessing the same devolved powers, halve the membership of the House of Commons, and leave Whitehall only running matters that impact on the whole of the U.K. |
