  Telegraph.co.uk Finance Blog — Authority: 580
  Scottish independence is getting the politicians excited again but most people north of the border could gain more from evolution than devolution. Before my mother and father disown me, I had better explain that I have just been looking at life expectancy statistics – and they make dismal reading for folk who will ...

  Vanishing American — Authority: 459
  On the subject of the proposed move toward independence for Scotland, on which I seem to have a controversial opinion, Mary Kenny writes an article for the Irish Independent.

• The latest True Wales foray

  
  Welsh Ramblings — Authority: 97
  True Wales have made one of their first major statements since they found themselves on the wrong side in last years referendum. There are two sides of the coin when it comes to True Wales.

• Spatial theory and Scottish Independence

  
  Rules of Reason — Authority: 95
  The plans for a referendum on Scottish independence offer a nice opportunity for applying spatial analysis. The latest point of contestation is whether a third option (enhanced devolution) should be offered to the voters in addition to the ‘Yes’ and ‘No’. The UK government is against including the third ...

• Unionists too distanced from the future of the Union debate?

  
  Slugger O'Toole — Authority: 535
  One of the reasons I argued that making the proposed marriage between the Conservatives and the Ulster Unionists would work well for both parties was that it would shore up Cameron’s party colleague’s woeful lack of understanding of the constitution of their own country. Something at Reg Empey shows a residual ...

• The Balkanisation of England

  
  Welsh Ramblings — Authority: 97
  One of the most pressing issues in the current revolution in the British state is that the English question now seriously needs to be addressed. In recent years, to even suggest there was such a thing as an English question was to invite ridicule and accusations of right-wing nationalism. But now the scenario of a ...

• Independence or union

  
  Vanishing American — Authority: 459
  Many Americans seem to be under the misapprehension that England has somehow imposed the Union on Scotland. It wasnt true 300 years ago and, apparently, is not true now.

• Never mind a Scottish referendum, now Cornwall wants its own government

  
  Telegraph.co.uk Culture Blog — Authority: 588
  The arguments over a Scottish referendum have overshadowed the renewal of demands for Cornish devolution. In 2000 a Cornish Constitutional Convention drew up plans for an assembly and executive to provide self-government for Cornwall. The Convention was modelled, I suppose, on the similar body which was set up in ...

  News Politics — Authority: 127
  What exactly is the problem with Scotland becoming autonomous within the United Kingdom? It has long been my preferred outcome but that, in a sense, is beside the point.

Their story is one of resolve, of finding meaning in our locality and the people with whom we rub shoulders day to day, of combating our fears, and of brilliant amateur hobbyism. What is more English than that? And in ...
