How small would you like to go?

I know PH is very much a right-wing political viewpoint entity as a whole, and I would say I am in the centre-right area. There are also a minority left-wing posters it is accepted.

But with all that is going on politically just recently I am wondering how small you would wish the UK/England to become?

For example, in the so called "good old days" we used to be an empire controlling the world.

Then we just became the UK with a few remains of the empire under our direct control.

Then we became a member of the EU.

Then we are likely to now just be the UK.

But soon after we may become just England and Wales.

With a possibility of London wanting out also, so we'd become England/Wales minus London.

There has already been talk of individual counties within England wanting devolution powers etc.

So then we are down to the public only having a say on their own county.

....
From the world down to a small county. That is a big downgrade of electorate privilege is it not?

Then would there be moves for individual other cities & towns within counties to want their own further devolution powers? Leaving people to basically run their own back yard.... literally!

Ok, I am bringing the argument to an extreme... but what is it with the trend to want to become smaller?

Accepting that as a valid point, is it a good direction for the UK to become a smaller entity given that everything is tending towards being more global?

In my view a UK not being part of a larger entity such as the EU creates small England.
With the potential of it becoming small London and small England.
