keith_london, but not on LJ, over on Twitter: The English Democrats. Now as far as I can see and if you know better, please correct me, they are not racist nutters like the BNP, but as nationalists they do seem to tend to the right (oddly unlike the Scottish National Party, who I think tend to the left...). They do seem a little er.. dodgy (at the very least base populist) on immigration. They are nut jobs in other ways, too - they support, or rather propose, a referendum on whether Monmouthshire should be in Wales or in England...
They are a federalist group who see themselves as promoting England so that it has the same rights as Scotland and to that extent they want an English Parliament with at least the same powers as the Scottish Parliament. Well, chaps, here's the news. WE ALREADY HAVE AN ENGLISH PARLIAMENT, YOU PLUMS (de facto if not de jure). It's in Westminster. We just happen to share it with the UK Parliament.
We don't need another layer of corruption, we just need an answer to the West Lothian Question.
