Comments on: Cameron takes up the England question – badly http://forargyll.com/2010/04/cameron-takes-up-the-england-question-badly/ Fri, 25 May 2012 20:05:56 +0100 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Scillahttp://forargyll.com/2010/04/cameron-takes-up-the-england-question-badly/#comment-45352 Scilla Tue, 13 Apr 2010 12:29:40 +0000 http://forargyll.com/?p=21778#comment-45352 An excellent and perceptive article. Westminster MPs will not grasp the nettle until the situation becomes so serious that it affects their own interests. Meanwhile they wonder why most people are cynical about politics and politicians. We campaign for a time when all nations of the UK stand in equality with each other and the central British administration and all citizens of the UK are equally represented and enfranchised.

I wouldn't like to the person deciding what are "England only issues" as per Mr Cameron's suggestion. Most decisions which have any spending implications at all for England would have very significant knock on effects for the other jurisdictions, which would not like to be powerless on those decisions. "We have sufficient belief in Scotland to be confident that whatever happens – a confederation based on fairness and mutual respect or Scottish independence, this country will emerge from it strongly." Exactly. A useful analysis. I wouldn’t like to the person deciding what are “England only issues” as per Mr Cameron’s suggestion.

Basically, the politicians are fiddling whilst the Union burns. Superb piece of writing, clearly making all the necessary points.
