> Not everyone from the UK is English or indeed has a London accent...

That is true. Especially these days, even in London.

But England completely dominates the politics of the UK.

Different kinds of freedom. In London you can legally jaywalk naked while drinking a beer in front of a cop and know that even if you really pissed the cop off, you'd never get shot for it.
