Thoughts on these as devolved regions for England?

Would envision these being like London – run by a directly-elected Mayor, or 'Premier', with Commissioners overseeing different services and an Assembly.

These are bigger than most of the existing or proposed Combined Authorities but smaller than the NUTS official statistical regions. I've focussed more on economic and cultural geography for these, rather than being prescriptive about population size.

  1. So make every single region completely new and thus have to redraw every administrative structure that already exists for no reason at all?

    A good way to waste billions.

  2. East Sussex and Kent, and Surrey and West Sussex would make better pairings

    Also, we don’t want Swindon in the Thames Valley, they’re little slugs with no personality who are just jealous of us because we’re better than them at everything.
