The Government supports the Union of the United Kingdom. The Government recognises that the devolution settlement is an issue of continued public interest, but does not believe that there is a groundswell of support for an English Parliament at present. Consequently, the Government does not believe that it is necessary to establish an English Constitutional Convention.
No "groundswell"? Even a BBC Poll shows that the vast majority WANT an English Parliament!
Most people, including those in Scotland, think England should have its own parliament, a BBC poll suggests.
Newsnight found 61% in England, 51% in Scotland and 48% in Wales agreed with the idea.
So what, in the UK Government's opinion, constitutes a "groundswell of support" for an English Parliament?
Scenes like this? Will we see mass violence on the streets again before our masters will listen to our pleas for democratic rule?Big hat-tip to Tommy English.
