A movement calling for a devolved assembly for the English county of Yorkshire has been launched recently.
The group, which is called "Yorkshire Independence", says it wants to secure a devolved government for Yorkshire and is calling on political parties to support their cause. According to their website, a devolved government would be more accountable to the people than the current Westminster arrangement. The movement also believes that a local government would have more sway over fiscal and budgetary issues.
The group claims that it has the support of at least one Member of Parliament and a number of local councillors.
