English Parliament


Democratic fairness for England is needed, via a referendum on the creation of an English Parliament, Executive and First Minister with at least the same powers as the Scottish Parliament, Executive and First Minister within a federal UK and a reformed Second Chamber at Westminster. There should be fiscal devolution so that the English, Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish parliaments become responsible for financing their own expenditure. This will save the taxpayers of England a substantial amount of money.

Scotland and Wales have been recognised as countries and their people given the opportunity to vote in referenda for devolved government. In contrast, the people of England have been denied the opportunity to choose an English Parliament. England should be a political entity with its own parliament and executive.
