Ireland, Scotland and Wales. <br /><br />How often have we read that an English Parliament would compete with the UK Parliament and England is too big to fit into a UK federal system?<br /><br />Most English people care more about England than they do about the UK and have persistently rejected regions in polls. Normally only 9-16% vote for regions, roughly equating to the non-English people in England.<br /><br />However, polls constantly show over 60% want an English Parliament.<br /><br />This Power 2010 charade placed regions just below an English Parliament, when in fact the original votes placed an English Parliament in first place, whereas regions did not fugure.<br /><br />This Power 2010 waste of time merely mirrored the UK Parliament itself, in its deceit.<br /><br />The final five options are a joke, and merely reflect what political pundits and the Illiberal Undemocrats want. Who the hell cares about parliamentary committees or whatever they are?Stephen Gashnoreply@blogger.com
