Dear Leavers Anthony Barnett Caroline Lucas Billy Bragg IMO part of @Brexit was a protest vote against the lack of identity and regional representation. Regional assemblies are the way to go.
'We are David Bowie's Heroes, we are Shakespeare, we are the NHS. The problem in England is people don't feel heard.'
Would you like to see an English Parliament or regional assemblies?
