Fred Bishop, an ex-senior fire officer comes from a small village in Worcestershire. His main concern is the concentration of power in central governments. Devolution should mean local democracy. Local people should decide local issues.

In 1974 the people of the English County of Monmouthshire were deprived of their nationality, culture and identity and sacrificed on the alter of Party Politics. There was massive debate after the event but no one to champion their cause. There is now one last chance to put this major social injustice back into the public arena. It is not simply a debating point, it will have profound effect on the future prosperity and history of Monmouthshire.

The asymmetrical devolution that has been imposed in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland cannot be reversed. It has led to social injustices that will no longer be tolerated by the people of England. English demand for justice has fomented a new and vigourous English Nationalist movement that will not be denied.

Scotland?s clamour for independence, supported by the English, is now so strong that some think that it will inevitably lead to the end of Britain as we know it.

A liberated England will justifiably demand full fiscal independence and will inevitably pursue policies that have been hitherto confined to the nationalist?s parties of the smaller countries of Britain.

Justice demands that the people of Monmouthshire take the opportunity to reverse this undemocratic slight of hand, it is too important to their future wellbeing. The genie of self-determination has been un-bottled by Labour?s lopsided devolution and is now far too strong to be confined.

It is therefore crucial that the people of Monmouthshire have the choice of whether they wish to return to their homeland with it?s greater economic and employment prospects or take their chances in a financially self-dependent Wales within the mass of an expanding and ever less unified Europe.

The very existence of the EU is increasingly being questioned by a growing number of European wide nationalist parties who are concerned about loss of their nationhood.

Those of the major parties are directly responsible for this dire situation and your continued support for them would only serve to encourage their destructive ambition and further fragment cross border relationships.

This is the one and only chance to right a cynical and terrible wrong.

Do the people of Monmouthshire want politics or representation, the choice is theirs?
