Re: Looks like many are missing the point
Perhaps, but you're setting up a large permanent underclass who have nothing invested in the current system and populations who get collectively punished because their leaders disagree with Westminster politics. Two instances I can recall off hand affect in N.Ireland. When the (and I use the term loosely) politicians there were at a log jam Westminster was going to introduce a water tax despite the water company there being a public owned utility and paid for in the rates. They were forced to get work together to prevent that from being imposed. An example of the power being used for good perhaps but because Sinn Fein are refusing to buy into the austery narrative, the money allocated to N.Ireland is being cut by £100 million. England might comprise the majority in the UK but that does not give them license to effectively neglect and abuse the rest of the UK.
