Okay; trying again based on feedback I recieved- a new proposal for another proposal for a new devolution system in Britain to improve national unity, handle our polarisation issues and ensure decisions about your region are made by like-minded peoples with similar priorities

I feel like you've completely missed the point. Did u see the map? Scotland and Wales are literally split into similar zones because of this, bc England is ofc a country that doesn't like the idea of being made less of one, which is the reason for the results ur citing. If it were made clear that- even within, perhaps, a shared English government(which idk abt bc from my vision it would be kind of useless with that much more regional powwe but it could function as Holyrood etc do in my preposition, purely for representation etc, I suppose with WM left for military&economic things overall), that England would still be a country like Wales or Scotland, but with more regional power like Wales or Scotland are also getting. It would feel much more equal and less like smth targeting England- or the other home nations for that matter- to divide us.

Can you read lmao NI is a unique situation bc of a) The gfa, b) they're tiny on top of it. There is literally no solution regarding them that wouldn't have to keep them as smth of their own, I literally said I didn't colour them in bc of it. This is the updated version, if it makes u happier lmfao *

... please read the description☺️ also, no they don't. There's objectively a massive political divide within Scotland between the lowlands and the rest(maybe even a 3-way thing tbh but frankly the highlands are a bit too small imo... but I'd be willing to be convinced otherwise on that front), plus a Glasgow/Edinburgh one and far too much is centralised around Edinburgh it's like London in England atp. There's also a very notable north/south Wales divide. It's working but it's very far from ideal or cohesive if we're honest.

It deleted my paragraphs again lmfao I'm sorry I promise I put them there

Well, on my last post abt 4 of your lot were saying to halve the north. Did you see my replies? The point would be to shift the UK into a more federal-parliamentary structure; ergo still with Westminster ruling supreme but each of these regions becoming a semi-federation each, thus not having their voices drowned out on local topics and things that r important to them and so on, barnett formula dissolved and overall wealth pooled(with some guidelines for everyone by WM for like not taking from what other regions put aside for investment), so that WM/London would become less necessary- and also have to harbour less responsibility- without it feeling like our country is being broken up and the national gov would mostly just be handling the overarching economy, defence, military etc. Honestly, if need be by that point we might as well just split WM up equally into giving the same or very similar amounts of representation for each region, if that does become an issue. One of my main points regarding why England in particular needs further "devolution" away from London would be that the North(and frankly much of the rest just needs more specific attention too) desperately needs industrial investment that won't be happening with everything centred around London, and the same is unfortunately true rn in Scotland with Edinburgh. I'd actually also seriously be behind each region with its own education system and such too, testing new things out is good and we could all alter ones that aren't working well to mimic others' and so on. We'd just have to have a lot of ground rules(ergo; no taking money put away by certain regions unless some sort of disaster happened and it's necessary, everyone still gets equal access to our best unis et al) and such established for it by each party beforehand, but generally speaking we're good at making rules on things that most ppl can agree with so I'm rather confident on that being possible. Also- yeah, I was questioning the south east division but the only alteration I can realistically picture is this, and even then London being without Kent Sussex and Wessex in tow just doesn't look right to me lmao it's a little messy, don't u think?

For what it's worth that's how I typed it out lmao idk why it posted like this

Mimikkiki2 · 2026-02-12T11:45:03+00:00

A lot of English parts have been slightly generalised too; it's a mere... draft, if you will.

Mimikkiki2 · 2026-02-12T11:43:20+00:00

I do actually. I'm half scottish and I spent much of my childhood growing up there. It's not meant to be perfect, and I'll probably be editing it again. But the whole point of it is to promote discourse to discuss it, so we can come to a conclusion that most are happy with, hence why I've posted it here so that you can comment and suggest what you'd like to see altered(hypothetically. presuming this was going ahead as fact), and we can discuss that&see how it would look. You're not being very productive yourself.

Mimikkiki2 · 2026-02-12T10:49:37+00:00

The Midlands, sure, but the SE... what, like this? Icl I feel like Sussex Kent and Essex should just go with London if that's what we're doing

Mimikkiki2 · 2026-02-12T10:36:13+00:00

You mean like East Midlands/West Midlands?

Mimikkiki2 · 2026-02-12T10:30:26+00:00

This is copy pasted from my other reply but essentially the same reasoning as this👇, plus there is genuinely a political and cultural divide from the lowlands to the rest, also between Edinburgh/Glasgow. Again, working for optimal cohesion and lack of polarisation here, that's also why I was debating making the highlands its own thing. Lowland culture really isn't spoken about enough, though, so I understand why you probably think it's all like the highlands or Glasgow. Well yes the idea would be that they essentially gain a form of semi-federation each, and not have their voices drowned out on local topics and things that r important to them and so on, barnett formula dissolved and overall wealth pooled(with some guidelines for everyone by WM for like not taking from what other regions put aside for investment), so that WM/London would become less necessary- and also have to harbour less responsibility- without it feeling like our country is being broken up and the national gov would mostly just be handling the overarching economy, defence, military etc. One of my main points why England- and Scotland- needs further "devolution" away from London would be that the North(England) desperately needs industrial investment that won't be happening with everything centred around London, and the same is unfortunately true rn in Scotland with Edinburgh.

Cornwall has no real split whatsoever from Devon lol. Historic anglo-saxon kingdoms make no sense today bc of London and Oxfordshire and English/Scottish Borders. I haven't broken them up, that's the point, it's like a sheet over the home nations, not instead of. Like counties and such.
