There is an article by BBC, "Big cities should have more power, says report" that talks about how some cities in the United Kingdom want to have a bigger say in their economical future than at present. Some officials have said that this is a good idea and a possibility, but that there will be some cities, or metros, that are not ready for this. This is not good. The old saying "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." applies perfectly in this situation. Major cities in the UK are financially sound and aren't in trouble in any way. The article stated that since at least a third of the nation's population live in cities that means that they should have a bigger say in the goings on around the metro. What about the suburbs and rural communities? They should deserve a larger say in their internal affairs as well. After all they produce food on the farms that help support Britain's economy. Some mention of this should have at least been made by the report or by government officials. To doubt this system that has worked for decades now is foolish and if any change is to be made it should be minor because if the new system doesn't work then the United Kingdom will have a big problem on their hands.
Thanks for reading.
