Moderator: Paul Kingsnorth has just posted a longish comment on Anthony Barnett's post about Edward I. He talks about English voice and votes, here is a taster:
"Some of the voices calling for equality for England are undoubtedly ’shrill’, Anthony. This is probably not suprising, though. Campaigns for justice - which is what this is - often are... The average English citizen had as much say in Edward 1’s military campaigns as they had in Tony Blair’s... The 1998 devolutions were vital and positive. Now we need to complete the cycle with an English parliament. Shrillness aside, I have heard no arguments from genuine democrats which make a good case against it."
