ANY claim that the Westminster government is a de facto English Government is undeniable. It is also beyond peradventure that the parliament itself is a de facto English Parliament stuffed to the gunnels with a vast majority of English Tory MPs who have no objection, when it suits, for it to be named the UK Parliament, or hide their English nationalism behind the names of the other countries the letters UK are supposed to represent. When Reuters reports that “the UK warns it may not buy electricity from an independent Scotland”, it is quite simply a naked English government threat to Scotland, masquerading as one from a United Kingdom – a threat that is not supported by Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland. So much for Tory extreme right-wing, blood-and-soil English nationalist ideas of what democracy should really mean when they have conned the English public into voting for them to have the whip hand in such matters.
