You already have a NE regional assembly, just like we have a NW regional assembly over this side of the country.
They decide how billions of pounds are spent but are not accountable to any electorate only to Tony and his cronies.
I doubt if it will be any different even if we do elect them. Where I live we vote for 3 councillors in our ward. They ony have to turn up to TWO council meetings a year to rubber-stamp the decisions made by a cabinet of 8 (executive councillors) who decide everything. The "executive types" are selected by the "party committees. Democracy???

If there is a NE assembly I have never heard of it, never seen it and dont know of anythign it does.
I must admit that I dont think we do have one, we have local government, we have a lot of local councils. But as far as I have seen/heard and experienced No regional assembly. We are currently campaigning for one, so I expect that also means there isnt one already.
