The Labour leader, Ed Miliband has argued that the entire U.K. should be involved in the debate over Scotland’s potential independence.
Mr. Miliband has debated that the issue of the U.K.’s future was too sensitive as well as important and should not be confined to “one part” of the nation.
He said: “Those of us who believe in the United Kingdom must make the case throughout our country.”
Mr. Miliband told it is possible to celebrate being English as well as British and accuses those wanting the break-up of the union of having a “narrow view of identity”. He had also admitted that Labour had been “nervous” to talk about English identity in the past while pressing ahead with constitutional change in other parts of the U.K.
Aides has said Mr. Miliband’s speech in London underlines his view that the case for the union must be heard in England and Wales, as well as Scotland.
Mr. Miliband has claimed that the Scottish National Party, led by First Minister Alex Salmond, is offering the Scottish people a “false choice” between being Scottish or British.
Mr. Miliband has requested the whole Britain to stick together as its constituent parts are so dissimilar to have any identity of their own. He said: “Having to say Scottish or British, Welsh or British, English or British – I don’t accept any of that. It’s always a false choice.”
Actually, this choice is the decision that Scottish voters will be confronted with when they decide whether to remain in the union or get apart.
