English Regional Government

The Labour Government tried to foist Regional Assemblies on England but had to pause when the voters in the North East voted against an Assembly. The Labour Government then tried to rule via non-elected Regional Authorities and this will be persevered with. I see that Gordon Brown is trying a third wheeze, using Regional Ministers to "represent" each area, as The England Project say "Brown gets the best of both worlds. He abolishes the unelected and disliked regional assemblies but maintains a regional England. The same New Labour, just a little cleverer. Well, Prescott has gone. What did we expect?"
