Why is this blog called 81% (eighty one percent) the UK is made up of 4 main parts (counties) England, Scotland, Wales & Northern Ireland.
81% of the UK population is made up of People in England, Yet England IS NOT represented by it's own Parliament. Why?
The Colony of American went to war & won independence over the very matter over representation & taxation. Their rallying cry was" No-Taxation, Without Representation"
The only way forward is to give us 81% the right to govern ourselves. If we are not, the UK as a nation will break-up.
Once there is an English Parliament, then we can set up a UK parliament, say somewhere in the Middle of the Country.
BTW: the Ordinance Survey Site says the exact centre of Britain is: http://www.geograph.org.uk/gridref/SD8111 http://www.geograph.org.uk/gridref/SD8111">
It would be interesting for Bury to be the New Capital of Great Britain.
But lighthearted comment aside, this is a serious issue. We do need action.
But I would like to know what the rest of the UK think, I will not edit any post (unless it is vulgar, racist or advocating illegal action) & I will allow & and all views on the matter.
So come on, post a comment.....
