    Should each country have equal say in what is supposed to be a union?

    Northern Ireland's 1.9 million people having the same weight as England's 54.8 million?
    A vote in Belfast being worth 29 times that of a vote in Bristol?
    Yeah, that makes sense, doesn't it?

    So the next question is, should we just put up with having little real say overall?

    Yes. Or leave the union.

    Do you think that the SW part of England (i.e. west of Bath) with a similar size population has any greater say?

    The argument of "Wales would fail if it become independent" never ceases to amaze me seeing as its been failing for years and has been continually let down by UK governments

    The fact that the poorest parts of Wales qualify for EU funding is a damning indictment on Westminster's inability to govern anywhere outside the south of England, we deserve better than this and I can't think of anyone better placed to do what's best for the Welsh than the Welsh

    This argument only applies if you believe the outh West to be a potential country in its own right and not part of England.

    They are represented by ENGLAND with which they identify.

    The clue to my answer is that you're comparing a part of England with a different country. You're happy with the idea that England rules the roost and if other countries don't like it, they can fck themselves. I don't agree with that.
