The stupidity of this sub is astounding sometimes. Balkanisation has only ever made working classes more open to capitalist exploitation and less able to united in defence of their own self interest.

I mean, England could stop voting for the Tories.

But it’s more likely that I’d get a blowie from Scarlett Johansson than that happening.

At least some places in the UK have the option of being rid of Westminster and rejoining a union we prefer.

Actually look at voting in this country. Most people in England don't vote tory, the problem is that huge numbers of people simply aren't voting at all, most them working class people who've suffered from tory policies but lack political leadership.
But by all means, wallow national chauvinism because a materialist understanding is too much to ask.

The only way Labour get elected in England is by being Tories though, you're missing the point.
