I am a British nationalist, proub of my nation (Britain). I also happen to be Welsh. Germany was made up of different nations, but thye are nited now as one nation, the smae can be said for the UK. Have you never heard politicians refer to THE nation? [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |

Date Posted: 17:39:44 01/06/05 Thu "Have you never heard politicians refer to THE nation?" Yes. And sometimes they do it referring to England alone. Both usages are to be heard. I don't see why the English have a problem being a nation... why not? A happy union of nations sounds better than an unhappy union of denied ones. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

The constituent parts of the UK, and potentially FC would have identities just as strong as they have today. You do not need legal nationhood to have identity. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 19:11:50 01/06/05 Thu The FC would actually be just an expanded UK. Instead of a union of just England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, we would add Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Seven instead of four (and potentially more). Then, we would complete devolution by making the whole thing a federation with national parliaments for all and a federal parliament for the whole union. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |
