There has been no independent England since 1707. In fact, much more so than Scotland, Ireland, or Wales, England has been completely subsumed into the "United Kingdom." And since devolution it is the only "country" in the UK without its own parliament/assembly and therefore technically does not legally exist. England is in fact a giant federal district for the United Kingdom.
The Westminster parliament has been traditionally known as the English parliament. Of course, under Cameron and the other “liberal conservatives”, it’s just an arm of the EU.
