The Horse-Trading begins and how it might affect our EU MEPS
There can be no doubt about it the Anglo-Saxon English Parliament gave Federalism to the World and now it’s payback time. But they ain’t seen nothing yet and they ain’t going to like it. These MPs in their Ivory Towers in the respective parliaments who think they are ‘God Almighty’. They will now be called to account for disparities in our UK Federal Superstate, run by the British Parliamentary system they have allowed to develop.
Mainly it concerns the bloc vote of Labour MPs that emanate from North of the Border, distorting the balance of probabilities both in the Mother of all Parliaments and the electoral system that governs us. So what’s to be done about it? For years the cry from Europe has been for subsidiarity. So now we now have individual parliaments i.e. Stormont, the Welsh Assembly and the Scottish Parliament, subsidiarity should reign supreme, where matters come to the vote that concern these individual nation parliaments. This has to happen because other than England, none of these separate and distinct cultures, have the economic might to exist alone without Social Transfers. i.e. The distribution of funds from the Treasury in Whitehall.
So the Office of Budgetary Responsibility (OBR) should be given a clear mandate in respect of equality and fairness and a liability to oversee the distribution, with appropriate checks and balances. Where Westminster can rule on where and how any individual parliament, may think it is being discriminated against. It should therefore be relatively easy for all these disparate interests to be accommodated, in this modern world of the 21st century - going forward. So we can all live in peace and harmony, in these Sceptred Isles - all 6,269 of them
The main problem for the party now predominate in Scotland however, has been the eternal cry that it is our oil. So continual whingeing in this respect, has conferred on Scots the mantle of (eternal whingeing Jocks). Though in fairness it should be said this mantle is to a great extent assisted by the propensity for outfits that prepare TV adverts, to use the Scottish accent, to indicate ways that various products can conserve your hard-earned brass.
This has created a misnomer and results in Scots taking umbrage at aspersions of whingeing, to the extent that their sensibilities espouse.personal insults. So its time for them to grow-up and taste the coffee, now they have suffered an enormous setback to their psyche, from which they might never recover.
Nuf sed! But I’ll be back.
