A poll in today’s Sunday Telegraph shows that a massive 68% of English people believe that England should have an English Parliament and 48% of people believe that England should declare its independence.
What is most interesting is that English support for North British independence is higher than in North Britain.
The figures are as follows:

The SNP are predicted win the North British elections next year and with a win will come the end of the union. The fact that it will coincide with the 300th anniversary of the Act of Union and the 50th anniversary of the European Federation (if the UK doesn’t exist then England won’t be in the European Federation either) will make it even more meaningful.
Gordon Brown told the Scots yesterday that they didn’t want independence and neither did the English yet this is the latest poll to prove that is a downright lie. The Welsh Assembly was established on the back of a 51% yes vote in which only 50% of the country participated. If this is claimed as the settled will of the Welsh people then how many more polls like this is it going to take to force the Scottish Raj to hold a referendum in England?
When the union is dissolved, Labour will pay for it’s anglophobia. The SNP have taken Labour’s majority in North Britain and the Conservatives have long been the choice of English voters with Labour relying on a combination of votes from north of the border and gerrymandered electoral boundaries to win the last election. The Conservatives will lose their beloved union because of their unwillingness to support equality for the English. The Illiberal Democrats are nothing and without their combined vote in England, North Britain and West Britain they will soon disappear off the political radar.
