I have a favour to ask
If you had to rely on the British media and British politicians for information, you'd be forgiven for thinking that the future of the Union was only about Scotland and Scottish public opinion. Fortunately we live in the age of the internet, in which politicians and the BBC/Telegraph/Mail etc, are merely players just like the rest of us. The blogosphere and social media have real power that they cannot control.
So, I have a favour to ask.
We need to publicise the fact that the English public have opinions too, and that our wish is to see the Establishment recognise our desire for an English dimension to government. I have updated my page on English public opinion to include the latest British Future poll and links to all available data, so as to be as authoritative as possible.
So please publish this link ( http://toque.co.uk/english-parliament-opinion-polls ) on your Facebook page. Twitter it. Put it on your blog, or, if you have no blog, leave the link in the comments of other blogs and discussion forums. There will be English people out there who will be interested in the facts, and who will be pleased to discover that other English people also want an English parliament. The British debate about Scotland needs to become an English debate about the Union and England's place in it.
So help me out, don't let England be sidelined.
Thanks
