Who says
the English do not want their own parliament
that the English don’t want another layer of government
that an English parliament would put the English off politics
As the e-mal explains a recent poll show there is big demand for an English parliament, on the second point “An English parliament does not necessarily mean another layer of government. For starters we can get rid of the unwanted and undemocratic regional layer and replace it with an English layer. Secondly we could look at the feasibility of dual-mandate MPs. And thirdly we can look at the role of the House of Lords with the aim of turning that into a federal and revising chamber, leaving the Commons as the English Parliament.” and did a Scottish Parliament put the Scots off politics?
