I noticed that in the last two elections a majority of England voted for Conservative, it was mainly the Scottish and Welsh votes that gave Labour the edge.
If Scotland and Wales have their own parliaments, why do they vote for the General Election in England?

We do not vote for England. England doesn't have a parliament. We vote for the UK parliament based at Westminster. If England had it's own parliament we wouldn't get a vote, would we? Northern Ireland also vote for the UK parliament.

Scots and Welsh have to vote to keep you in good government. We have been doing this since the act of Union and its not about to change just because we have set up our own local government office. Get used to it! Remember England belongs to us.....We control and manipulate England at liesure and to our benefit as we see fit for the common good.
