Plaid to win Ceredigion in 2015?


Could the UK disband if Scotland secedes?

 

At present until the English Democrats declare their parliament on Saturday the UK has no English devolution just the Greater London Authority and County councils.

 

The territory of England has a general synod for its established church elected under PR for the laity.

 

The ideal policy of Plaid Cymru is a Welsh republic in the Commonwealth as laid out by Saunders Lewis their founding leader.

 

Northern Ireland is not a successor state to the irish kingdom as it was abolished by direct rule. The devolved settlement lays out that the line of succession passes according to sovereign states and has recently been amended to give gender equality.

 

Scotland has a majority in the Scottish Parliament in favour of secession within the Commonwealth with shared defence.

 

So to save the remaining UK or create a British – Irish republic their needs to be a referendum on the continuation of the monarchy with a review of prerogative powers. That would facilitate an elected senate for the common state. Another option might be to replace the House of Lords for England once Wales and Scotland secede.

 

There might need to be a Conservative MP for Ceredigion, unachieveable since 1885 when the franchise was extended to all men if you disagree with the above.

 

I disagree with the last option and look forward towards the first step towards English Devolution.
