As far as the Tories are concerned it's a dog eat dog world, markets dominate and don't help your neighbour. They know the cost of everything and the value of nothing.
The North does need more autonomy to maintain the mostly centre left politics of the region. In the North there is such a thing as society.

Haven't you heard the phrase 'divide and rule' and the simplest way to do this is to set the people against one another.......while they are fighting themselves, they cannot be in touch with what is going on in the bigger world out there........and they(the politicians) cannot be blamed if we destroy ourselves.
We do not need fragmented government........all government has costs attached to it, officers, administrators, politicians......all want paying so it isn't economic or political sense to advocate such changes.
We need less government not more(and scattered about the place).
We need politicians who
care about the place they reperesent......I mean really care....not just issuing sound bites that they think the electorate will swallow without much concrete thought.
It seems to me that the current incumbents care only for lining their own pockets and building some kind of place on the gravy train that is Brussels......and that is what is wrong. They have no feelings for the common man who is the constituent and put the cross on the ballot paper.
