When incensed English swing voters – not only susceptible Ukip supporters, but also otherwise middle-of-the-road Lib Dems – envisaged a scenario in which the SNP imposed a Labour government on the UK for which England hadn’t voted, they expressed a willingness to lend their votes to the Conservatives. The chief Tory strategist Lynton Crosby had hit upon a recipe for success. Instead of the hung parliament the polls had predicted, the Tories won outright, and Cameron was unexpectedly compelled to make good on his promise of a Brexit referendum. He has some sensible suggestion on how we can avoid what is feeling inevitable at the moment, including repairing some of the damage done by Brexit, reforms and more devolution of power to the individual nations. It all seems sensible and rational stuff coming from a guy who has no political axe to grind too. The author advocates electoral reform to deal with what he perceives as an undemocratic electoral system. It can't be argued that the current first-past-the-post system does mean that a majority of seats can be won by a minority of votes. However, the author is over-clever in the system he advocates ad it fails the test that it must be understandable by the vast majority of voters, If the electorate cannot see a direct connection between who they vote for and who they elect, the system will son come into disrepute. The UK had a referendum on changing the voting system in 2011 and decided to leave things as they are. The author conveniently forgets this, and in his arrogance suggests that we vote again because we got the wrong answer. Nigel Farage, however, was correct to describe Euroscepticism as “our very English rebellion”. For Brexit was largely driven by English nationalism, but on behalf of what Henderson and Wyn Jones label “Britain-as-Greater England”. Since then, of course, England’s nationalists have come to prize the purity of their Brexit above the territorial integrity of the British state itself. Several different reports of Mansfield's decision appeared. Most disagree as to what was said. The decision was only given orally; no formal written record of it was issued by the court. Abolitionists widely circulated the view that it was declared that the condition of slavery did not exist under English law, although Mansfield later said that all that he decided was that a slave could not be forcibly removed from England against his will. [71]But let’s drill down a bit deeper into Ashcroft’s polling sample. Surely the whole point about those people who didn’t set much store the Union is that they didn’t think of themselves as British in the first place. Nominally, of course, they were: and they wanted the dark blue passport to prove it. But in their heads they weren’t really Brits at all. They were English. The abolitionist movement was led by Quakers and other Non-conformists, but the Test Act prevented them from becoming Members of Parliament. Very thought-provoking and timely. The possible break up of the Union is a story that will dominate the news agenda for the next few years at the very least.
