Home Office mandate - England's affairs

The Green Ribbon raises an interesting point on the inheritance of the Home Office in any future reshuffle. Remember that home affairs is partially devolved. If the position goes to an MP that does not represent an English constituency it will be a measure of the importance that mandate commands in New Labour.

Let's hope that such a situation doesn't come to pass. It will just raise the temperature within a Union that is already heated by the friction of unequal devolution. Then again, if it does happen it will indicate that the issue is very far below the radar of the British government so maybe a little heating is what they either deserve or require to shame them into some kind of action.
