Vote for England
Tomorrow is the big day, where we all get a chance to vote for the next British imperial government.
None of the major parties are prepared to listen to the 7 out of 10 people who want an English Parliament and give us equality with the rest of the UK so it us up to us to make sure that we each vote for the candidate that we think is going to treat England fairly.
Remember, we are electing an MP to represent us for 5 years tomorrow, not a Prime Minister. Vote for the candidate that will best represent you as a free Englishman (or woman) and forget about the “bigger picture” – it’ll take care of itself!

I hope we elect an English Prime Minister who can work well for England and with the First Ministers of the other countries of the UK. We shall see!
May 6th, 2010 at 8:33 amI ALMOST got to see Gordon Brown yesterday. He was doing a lightening visit to the Concourse in Skelmersdale town centre in an attempt to bolster our fat-arsed and useless MP Rosie Cooper…
Skem’ is about 5 miles away, unfortunately by the time I got there, he had just departed….
May 6th, 2010 at 11:40 amI hope there will be a Conservative victory even in a Liberal coalition. On the positive side, the British Nationalists failed miserably, and the English Democrats didn’t get the breakthrough they hoped for. Let us hope this is an end to English Nazism and a return to good Conservative politics!
May 7th, 2010 at 8:53 amSteve, WTF are you on about? English Nazism?
The Tories have a clear majority in England. They can’t form a Govt outright though.
When it comes to such crucial issues as Health, Education,Crime, Social Policy etc etc, England’s clear choice will not have a clear mandate to govern on these clearly English only issues.
What were you saying about Nazism?
May 7th, 2010 at 9:00 amSteve, i do hope you are not connecting the English democrats and Nazism!
May 7th, 2010 at 10:05 amIt depends whether the English Democrats have abandoned their alliance with the England First Party, abandoned their Celtophobia and their rabid anti-immigration policies.
May 7th, 2010 at 10:25 amThey never had an “alliance” with the England first party.
May 7th, 2010 at 12:23 pmCriticising the unfairness of the ‘British’ political landscape that favours the Celtic nations over the English, is not Celtophobia.
Indeed many in the ED’s admire the success of both the SNP and Plaid Cymru.
The ED’s seek a much tighter immigration policy than that in place now. As do the vast majority of the people of both England and Britain. “rabid” it ain’t.
Steve,
May 7th, 2010 at 12:26 pmI left the English Democrats because of their Alliance for Democracy and some of the strange parties in that Alliance. You, however have no right to connect the English Democrats with Nazism!
In my view they were misguided to help form the Alliance and I hope they now realise that. How many English Democrats do you know? are any of them racist? no of course not, you should apolgise to them!
I think the Conservative party should either join forces with the Liberal Democrats with a proportional representation deal or with the Celtic parties in return for protecting them from the worst excesses of the English government. A lot of people here in the Conservative party feel Cameron could have done much better, Cameron will have to be careful to win support from Scotland especially
May 7th, 2010 at 12:47 pmYou have just made a very good case for an English parliament.
May 7th, 2010 at 1:03 pmI just found this site after seeing a very good argument for an English parliament.
Scotland, in this general election, voted exactly the same as last time. 0.1% swing, every seat won by the incumbent. They don’t do anything like this in Scottish elections. It’s like they’ve lost interest in the UK parliament.
May 7th, 2010 at 2:10 pmWell well Lads, you probably just helped to brake up an 303 year old political union now that was going really well with devolution. The SNP are talking with The Scottish Labour Party on how to fight against Tory/Lib-Dem extreme cuts to all our public services and the old people will lose their free travel passes, heating allowances, tv licences, the umemployed will face more unemployment as more people will lose their jobs and their homes for that.Then they will be offered their old jobs back at £1.50 per hour for a 72 hour working week. Disabled and the sick and the dying will be left at death’s door without the help from a tory underfunded nhs hospital. Our Children schools will close and our children won’t able to read or write. It just won’t hurt the Scots but the English, Welsh and The Northern Irish too. WELL DONE WHAT A RESULT! Last one to leave Britain please switch off the lights!!!!!! I can start to see queues outside The Canadian, Australian and New Zealand Embassies as people think of emigrating. Well Done. And when the union is dissolved and you end up much poorer don’t think for one matter do you think Scotland will want to be back in a union with England because we won’t.
May 7th, 2010 at 7:27 pmOh Billy. What a silly Billy you are.
May 7th, 2010 at 8:25 pmGo away and be a Troll elsewhere.
The Tories won England hands down:

May 7th, 2010 at 8:29 pmBilly, you have just described the situation in the UK in 1979.
May 7th, 2010 at 11:03 pmDaggs you p**S me off when you know its the god dammn truth. Its early days but it will happen. Just you wait.
May 8th, 2010 at 1:08 amHere’s an interesting quote from the Telegraph yesterday. Interesting times ahead. I think it proves in some way that the failure of all the main parties to address the “English Question” may come back to haunt them. From a purely personal interpretation of what has happened I would say that they have all confused the voters. They (the voters) know instinctively that there is a problem lurking there somewhere. They have an instinctive feeling that they are being misled. Most people who write here know that that is indeed the case, so the question which arises in my opinion is this, “How long will the politicians continue to mislead the voters of England and the rest of the UK?” They are playing politics and I think that their duplicitous behavior is about to backfire on them.
“England and Wales have elected a PM
Should there be a “progressive” coalition, it will be thanks to Labour winning 41 of 59 seats in Scotland. The Tories have only one seat there. Should Dave govern, he could depend on belligerence from north of the border, with the SNP pointing out that the enemy, almost unrepresented in Scotland, is back in power in London.
The Tories have a clear majority of seats in England and Wales combined, however. Wouldn’t Dave like to be prime minister of England and Wales, a job even he could probably make a fist of holding for five years? Isn’t it time he and his party realised the game was up for them in Scotland, and that the pursuit of an English parliament might now make perfect political sense?”.

May 8th, 2010 at 7:56 amHere is a comment by a blogger on the above article. I have no idea whether the figures are correct, I suspect that they are but DYOR.
“The Conservatives would have had an overall majority of 327 seats had David Cameron not been foolish enough to break his promise of a referendum on the EU constitution Lisbon Treaty, and had formed an agreement with the UK independence party.
An additional 21 seats would have been won by the Conservatives to their final 306 seats had David Cameron not rebuffed his core euro sceptic ex-supporters.
Here are the parliamentary seats and vote numbers that the Conservatives would have won were it not for David Cameron rejecting UKIP:

Proportional representation and electoral reform must be passed, to give a chance for the smaller parties some day in elections. Democracy works in the Scottish Parliament and the Welsh Assembly so why are we so afraid of proportional representation here. We must embrace democracy!
May 8th, 2010 at 9:27 amI’m beginning to think that Steve and Billy from Scotland should go and lay down in seperate quiet rooms but Steve would have a panic attack and Billy would only go and pick a fight with himself!
May 8th, 2010 at 9:37 amI’ve not seen any comments against PR! Unless I’ve missed them…
May 8th, 2010 at 9:41 amThe British Parliament must have electoral reform and PR, it is scandalous how distorted the results were. A PR British Parliament will then make an English Parliament far easier to establish. But I don’t see the Conservatives supporting PR for Britain or England, despite the myths that England is a Conservative country because the Conservatives won only 39% of the vote. And the Conservatives know already how Labour has lost in the Scottish Parliament and Welsh Assembly. That is a bad deal for England but there is still plenty to hope for!
May 8th, 2010 at 4:44 pmAnyone else somewhat put off by the Google Advert Viagra and medical supplies that appear under THECEP google result?
May 8th, 2010 at 7:44 pmThe days ahead will be very interesting. Much more will be said. I can only hope that the English are able to make their voices heard amongst the confusion that will surely come.
