Paul Murphy confirms he's a twat
Paul Murphy, Labour MP for Torfaen, has warned that bringing Welsh constituency sizes down to English levels, ending Welsh over-representation at Westminster, could lead to the break-up of the United Kingdom:
“I am beginning to see and to feel in the House of Commons that there is a belief among some conservative Members of Parliament – and I would exclude all Welsh Conservative MPs from this criticism – that somehow or other they would be better off frankly with an English parliament and without Welsh or Scottish Members of Parliament.”
He continued: “I don’t want to see the Conservative and Unionist party become the Conservative and Separatist party. That’s me as a Labour member saying that.
“I feel there’s an onus on all of us representing Welsh constituencies to ensure that the Government listens and that we are not heading towards an English parliament as opposed to a United Kingdom one.”
Good, the United Kingdom isn't worth preserving if some people have their own national parliament AND demand over-representation at Westminster so that they can pervert English democracy.
