English Parliament would be democratic

This is nonsense - the same claim was made that the Scottish and Welsh Parliaments would always be Labour.  But in Scotland the SNP are in charge and in Wales Labour can only govern in a coalition.

The Devolved Parliaments are elected by Proportional Representation and the majority of English voters do not vote Conservative. However, even if they did, it would be undemocratic to deny the result.

We need to fix the current constitutional mess and turn the UK into a modern federation.  

This can easily be done by reforming the House of Lords into an elected UK-wide Chamber and restoring the House of Commons to its traditional role as the English Parliament.

Sir— I feel I must respond to Norman Duff’s comments regarding an English parliament, (Advertiser, February 4).

Firstly, what seems to be a fair point put well by Norman, he bases his statistics on seats required to form the British parliament and not an English devolved parliament as the seats would be contested in a different voting system, for example,  proportional representation (PR).

If PR was used in England the Tories would never get into power at all, as proportionately more people voted Labour in the last General election than any of the other parties that is why we had a hung parliament.

I think as long as English politicians, held to account by English voters, have English issues at heart (as they would do if they were members of an English parliament), does it really matter what party they represent? I hope this brings a little clarity to the debate.
