Alan Cochrane writing in the Telegraph says it is “good to hear the Tory leader reject the populist appeal of English nationalism.”
I find it rather odd that when writing about the elections to the Scottish Parliament it is somehow the English which are to blame for the present mess the Scottish raj which is controlling the reins of power in Westminster has made of the Union.
It was Scottish born and educated Tony Blair and his Cabinet stuffed full of Scots politicians who have created the imbalance in the British Constitutional settlement that has led to the increasing calls for an English parliament in preference to the regional break up of England.
One is tempted to ask what does David Cameron offer the English by way of redress? Are they going to remove the power of the Scottish parliament and the Welsh Assembly? Not on your life, all they are offering us is English votes on English matters (EVonEM) a policy that is shot through with its own problems and does not even begin to address the basic imbalance wrought by Blair and his Scottish cronies.
If Cameron means what he says, and he really does want to be Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and not England, then he should be suggesting completely dissolving the regionalization adgenda including Scottish and Welsh regionalisation, and undoing the damage already caused to fabric of the nation, that however is not an option the Conservative Leader is prepared to accept.
