And you don't think its accurate to say there is no or negligible democratic deficit in England? England, as an entity, almost always gets the government it votes for, and has never in history had a government it overwhelmingly voted against. Wales usually doesn't get the government it voted for, Scotland usually doesn't, Northern Ireland never does, and all three regularly get governments they overwhelmingly rejected at the ballot box. I don't think people outside the UK actually understand what the UK is and how politics works, thats why you get attitudes like yours whenever this issue is raised. The UK is not one country, it is four countries or three and a territory joined together in political union, one of those countries has democracy, the other three do not.
