The Wardman Wire

I’ve joined the Witanagemot Club.

Although I’m basically a Unionist, I think that there is an absurd inequality in the devolution system we have seen implemented by the current government - and that it is a dog’s dinner that needs to be given some semblance of equality.

Instead we have a system which has facilitated - to take just one example - explicit discrimination against Welsh, English and Northern Irish students within the Scottish Higher Education system at the hands of the Scottish Executive permitted by the the UK Government.

And that is leaving aside such small matters as the West Lothian question, that still need to be addressed.

The answer which I find most attractive would involving reducing the current national politican-bloat, which I support as a general principle, and having one set of representatives who sit in the UK Parliament in London for UK matters, and in the Regional Parliaments (including London) for part of the time on devolved matters.

You can find the Witanagemot Aggregator here. The Blogroll will be added to the home page when I decide how.

Note - these are my views and no indicator that other writers here agree.
