Yes, because... It would give England recognition and representation
England has no representation on bodies like the British/Irish Council. English money is distributed by this organisation with no Englishman sat at the table who is recognised as such.
Debates about matters affecting only England are deliberately confused with terms like "our country" and "the country".
England has no direct representation in Europe. Our other regional entities on the other hand are much better off as the EU likes power being devolved to the regions. The Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish Governments have EU offices in Brussels.[1] The extra profile that a regional parliament can give has been shown by Scotland, Alex Salmond has engaged in whiskey diplomacy at the Copenhagen conference[2]
An English Parliament would solve all situations where England is not represented.
