This petition was submitted during the 2010-2015 parliament
Petition merge UK and EU constituencies
More details
Key topics:
• To merge our UK Parliamentary and EU constituencies into a single entity.
• To re-establish the Southern Eastern England Regional assembly that Labour closed down.
I understand that this issue is difficult for the UK Parliament to acknowledge and ever hold an honest debate, most certainly it would be like asking “Turkeys to Vote for Christmas”.
Greater London Authority,Scotland, Wales and NI have their own huge budgets to establish and maintain their Regional Identity
I would ask you this - What representation budget does South Eastern England hold ?
• Strengthened Local & Regional identity rather than the need to create an English Parliament
• One focused team facing UK and EU Parliament - Team dedicated to our area
• True representation. Votes that count. Then watch the voters turn out.
• A Fair share and distribution of central UK and EU funds
• Reduced headcount in Whitehall to cover National HQ issues only
This petition closed early because of a General Election
