England, an emerging political force in Europe

Via the COSG forums comes this article:

Tracing through the impacts of Europe within the United Kingdom the European regions neatly classified under the EU NUTS regions are being perceived under the New Labour government’s clumsy efforts at devolution to be dismembering England as a country.

The article goes on to discuss the English Democrats in the main and delivers us the following conclusion:

The difference between the EDP and other British political parties, including the UKIP, is that it is focused on the English who make up majority of the population of the UK. It addresses the evolving and real issues which face the English in particular, without being distracted by Irish, Welsh or Scottish questions. The Conservatives, a Unionist party, has its hands tied by its own dogma, the Labour Party has done most damage to the English and the Liberal democrats have not understood the full significance of the emerging sense of injustice felt by the English. Observers and commentators expect the EDP to gain strength rapidly.
