Why the Tories should support English independence

I'm not advocating the break-up of the United Kingdom, but English Standard does make a pragmatic case for it....

"Cameron is going to lose the next election. For a start, the Liberal Democrats have reneged on the coalition agreement by voting against boundary reform for our electoral constituencies. Cameron has also failed to deal with the corrupt voting practises resulting from Labour’s introduction of mass postal voting. The Great Game has been lost because Labour and the Liberal Democrats have bent the rules. However there is nothing stopping the Conservatives from joining in with these practises on their own behalf whilst simultaneously cloaking it as an issue of 'fairness'."

"The Conservatives won the last General Election – in England. Their only chance of winning the next General Election is in England. So why not make the next General Election be fought in England?....At the last General Election, English MPs were given a mandate by English voters to remove the voting rights of non-English MPs...It will be far easier to transform Westminster into an English Parliament than to persuade Westminster to allow the creation of a separate devolved English Parliament."

Ukip was pushing an English parliament in 2011, with the House of Lords becoming an elected chamber representing Union matters like defence and foreign policy.And the currency, as Scots will be relieved to hear.

    There's certainly logic in that.
