Except that doesn't acknowledge thefact that most of the world hates their neighbours.....
You could draw a parallel here with the UK being the 'world', and the 3 nations being the 'countries'. Global government is hardly a resounding success here, with devolution and all that :lol:

Perhaps there shoud a system where we take it in turns to rule the country every 5 years or so, England would not mind being patronised by the Scots or the Welsh 😉
Just remind me where Gordon Brown is from ?
:devil:
In fact, a quick look here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_UK_Parliament_constituencies_represented_by_sitting_Prime_Ministers gives me:
Wales: 3 (11%)
Scotland: 5 (19%)
England: 19 (70%)
Which when I compare with the population makeup of the UK:
Wales: 5%
Scotland: 9%
England: 86%
I think actually I am the one being patronised.
And that is before I read about the Barnett Formula....
Living in the East, I am right royally shafted. I think I want Independence for Cambridgeshire and b*gger the rest of you. :curse:
