"That's what our vision for home rule is all about. The principles that guide our party are universal but the circumstances that shape our politics are not."
Wow - I didn't know there was an English Lib Dem party ! (Emphasis in above quote mine - but it stands out anyway !)
I wonder what it means ? I was tempted by another dig at the Lib Dems many face's a geographically determined policies ( and it is an example of that ) - but in fact I'm far more interested in what it might mean about Nick Clegg's thinking on the issue of an English Parliament.

There's is actually, though it's not common knowledge.
The Lib Dems have an English party, and they are the only mainstream party to publish an 'English manifesto'.
Thanks for the info. Its begs the question why they don't support democracy for England with a parliament when they see it as a logical division for their own party!
