Rejected petition UK-Wide Devolution

More details

In the wake of the Scottish Referendum it is clear that the United Kingdom is united in wanting radical reform.

With Scotland now being the only country to see enhanced Devolution the remaining countries within the UK deserve an equal share of the power.

The West Lothian question now cannot be allowed to stand.

This petition calls for an establishment of a United Kingdom comprising of:

The English Assembly
The Scottish Assembly
The Northern Irish Assembly
The Welsh Assembly
The UK Parliament.

The assemblies shall all be given the power to govern in their own right, as they best know the needs of their constituents.

The United Kingdom Parliament shall only retain powers in relation to international issues, such as war, international law, treaties and UN and EU matters.
