Closed Move the capital of the UK.

Closed on

Remove the capital city status from the city of London and confer it to another existing city, town, village or structure somewhere else in the United Kingdom.

Now that Brexit is done, there is no need to position the UK capital so close to Europe as we are no longer seeking diplomatic or trade relations with Europe. With this in mind, why not move the capital city somewhere else in the United Kingdom to better serve our current needs?
