Would devolution for England work?

Sir — What about the UK joining the Republic of Ireland? It would solve the Border problem as well as dispensing with the undemocratic, archaic monarchy and lords. As well as devolved governments in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales, have one for England.

It would stop Scotland and Northern Ireland being taken out of the EU against their wishes and create an overall majority on these isles for staying in the EU.
