Oh well, I suppose calling the shots at Westminster will have to do.

With two almost unelectable main party leaders and the imminent demise of the LibDems, that would seem like a likely outcome, if one were inclined to gamble.

I agree that only citizens of a country should vote in elections affecting that country but then any European Union or Commonwealth citizens resident in the UK can vote in UK elections and I daresay it would be racist to object to that.

And why are Scottish or Welsh nationalists ok but any English nationalist sentiment always gets smeared as "far right"?

Scottish/Welsh = civic nationalism, English = ethnic nationalism.

This EU citizen canny vote in German elections. Door swings only one way it seems.

English nationalism is far right, you don't get racism or UKIP'ism in Scottish nationalism, it's more liberal if anything.
