THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF BORSETSHIRE

The government has revived its plans for devolution to cities in England, giving them powers over housing, transport, planning and policing.  This raise a whole host of questions for the many millions of us who don't live in cities and who don't live in Wales, Northern Ireland or Scotland.

As a resident of a medium-sized village in the Prime Minister's constituency, I'd like to know what powers I am going to get under the new proposals, so here's a couple of queries:

1. Will devolution to cities in England place them on an equal footing to the Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish governments?
2. Will devolution to English cities be extended to the other parts of England, like my village? 
3. If it is, will my village have full fiscal autonomy?
4. If no power is going to be devolved down to my village, how will my sub-national interests be represented
5. In the event of a majority of people voting to leave the EU, will my village have a right of veto over the decision if we vote to stay in the EU?
6. Why is someone in Inverness entitled to greater representation than I am in Oxfordshire?
7. Why can't England just have equality with Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland through its own parliament in a federal UK which treats every part of this country the same?

It is bizarre how utterly inept successive governments have been over devolution and equality across the UK.  Why can't we just have one system with the same powers for everyone?  Why does it need to be this uneven, unequal dog's dinner originally vomited out by New Labour in a desperate attempt to shore up the Scottish and Welsh votes.
 
Because that worked, didn't it..?
