I mean a government that doesn't spend a fortune on making decisions it has no clue about. There was an article in the local paper on the amount of decision making involved in getting permission to install a bollard to stop a rat run. Went from borough council to county council to westminster, back to county to get back to borough to let them know they could send the contractors in to install the bollard. the flipping wages involved in that excercise are probably more than the cost of the flippin bollard!!
It got nothing do do with anarchy. More common sense.

RAO123: Is exactly what i mean. I got no problem with Westminster as such, let the counties decide their own affairs though when it comes to local decision making..

Depends what you mean by central government.

If you mean giving full power back to the countries within the UK then yes I would vote for that.

If you mean no central government at any level then no. In Northern Ireland we had to take power away from councils due to abuse. We couldn't have done that without some higher authority.

The majority of the population, including Scotland, already have done. It is called New Labour. It doesn't just want to abolish Central Government, it wants to give the whole country over to a foreign entity, known as the EU. Thankyou, and goodnight.

But then Central Government would have to get proper jobs and get paid peanuts like the rest of us.

It is always valid to have a government; police, courts & national defense -- provided that the culture is generally pro-freedom, as England is.

You mean would I vote for Anarchists?
Hell, no.
Bunch of deluded hypocrites.

Anyone young and conservative, is dead inside.
Anyone old and radical, is an idiot. (or very, very inexperienced).
