I have a question. Was speaking of it to my mate as an idea as he is an American living in the UK. Would this come under a devolution; The country has always has been politically divided. London always has got the special attention and budgets too compared to anywhere else in the country. Some areas get budgets more than others and sometimes it can be purposely done in the lack of funds for the areas what vote for the opposition that are in power. My view of course. Though, how can one man or woman know what’s better for the whole country than its own people. I listened to you talk of devolution for the likes of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland as we know them to this day. But, why does everything had to be done in Parliament. Why can’t we just run our own county’s for example? That way wouldn’t that be in the nations interest. For a Labour constituents area to be run by Labour. For an SNP area to be run by SNP or a conservative area to be run by conservative. Where, them county’s can decide where their own taxes go. Whether on schools and education. A fully funded NHS. Environmental things and city developments with having budgets of what their county makes than what their county is given. They can still be a main Prime Minister to represent us internationally. And, certain percentages of gross profits or incomes that are coming into the county in taxes (Nationally the same rate of tax for all county’s) a percentage of that can still go on our national defence budgets of which has to be over 50% agreement of all county’s representatives. A percentage to go towards cities that aren’t doing as well. And, a percentage of a county’s gross profits in tax a certain percentage of that to pay off the national that strictly goes towards the national debt to pay it off by an agreed timeframe. Likewise, with national emergencies like during this pandemic for national collaboration to be participated in. For county representatives to vote on who we do contracts with. On who to invest money on to do track and trace. And, you know put the word democracy back into the country than the letting the pigs run it. In terms of laws or legal means of things like I was talking to my American mate about different states and different laws but do you think it would get to complicated if we did that for county’s? I don’t no I mean would this come under devolution or is that just a word for the likes of if only Northern Ireland, Scotland or Wales did this. I’m from Liverpool. If we could run our own county like this we’d be more than better off than double of what we are now. The same would most probably be for most other county’s aswell. If someone came into power and tried to disrupt this system to make all the power be back in the Houses of Parliament and their government. You’d find a lot would vote against it. As, if they are doing what they are suppose to be doing of representing their constituents as if they are the prime ministers of the county’s and they are their for there county’s best interest. You’ll see then a system that falls into place like it should. And, they will vote or should vote against everything being all about London. Should be decided by the people who they represent what their wages are aswell. It then could become it doesn’t matter what party wins as we run our county ourselves and not them per say a less on international affairs on a national prospective. Anyway is this classed as devolution or something else?

Yeah England has devolution already, like London as you said as well as all other mayor's are examples of devolution. We just don't have our own parliament

I came here to study for my assessment. I will ace it.

I feel like the UK should give England devolved assemblies in the rough ballpark range of the populations of the other countries, but by culturally significant boundaries. Northumbria has almost three times the population of Scotland, but I feel like it's a reasonable area for local representation for historical reasons, but maybe it should have three devolved parliaments, who knows? The Southeast has nearly twice the population of Scotland. The list goes on. Southwest England has roughly the population of Scotland, slightly higher at 5.616 rather than 5.454. For reference: 14.93 million people live in the north of England, half a million live in Cornwall, just under 9 million people live in London ... Wales 3.136 Northern Ireland 1.885 Scotland 5.454 Southeast England together 9.175 England together: over 53 million

And then the US🇺🇸 the UK🇬🇧 and Canada 🇨🇦 all need some moderate version of proportional representation. We could go the New Zealand 🇳🇿 model or the Australia 🇦🇺 model or the Irish model, or we could chart our own paths, but first past the post is a no-go. Even Scotland has some PR. It's not even like a horse race "first past the POST", it's whomever is slightly in the lead when election comes around. Majorities don't even support the people who get elected.

No thanks. England is a nation, it should have a single national parliament. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
