Independent Wessex

If Scotland becomes independent, then where does it end? Surely it would make sense for Wales to go the same way, and in that case I feel England should become a federation of states rather like the US.

London (I mean that parcel of land inside the M25) would surely be one state. I propose that the remaining land is divided into Greater Wessex and Mercia. To that end I think we in Wessex should pre-empt this move by offering Her Majesty a new but historic title. Elizabeth the Great. 

There is a precedent.



Wessex would gain Oxford and all its academic spinoffs, we would have the M4 valley which is also rich in high tech companies. We would have Bristol  and Southampton, fine deep water ports. After negotiations with Wales we could probably get a Severn barrage working. I feel we could claim Gatwick and the Channel Tunnel as well.

Mercia gets Birmingham, Cambridge and the ports of Liverpool and Hull. It all seems quite fair.

Some would argue that London would continue to dominate the States of England with its trade and population. Well, they won't look so strong if they no longer get food, imports or electical power from greater Wessex. Hmm?
