World Cup Bandwagon rolls into Westminster

Harold Wilson lost the 1970 election, shortly after England lost the 1970 World Cup. Wilson was sure there was a link - and ever since politicians have watched the World Cup closely. Will a win for England in 2005 buoy up support for the Labour government?
Ministers are making a meal of their support for England. Culture minister Tessa Jowell has festooned her official car with England flags - she even has a set of decidedly chav-looking England furry dice draped over the rear-view mirror.
David "call me Dave" Cameron has gone one better - arriving for PMQ on his bike, complete with England flag. When asked who he was supporting, the PR man bellowed "England" with all the force of a football hooligan. And he wasn't wearing his helmet - again.
Now the PM has announced that the England flag will fly from the Downing St flagpole on the days when the national team are playing.
Where does all this nationalism leave Gordon Brown and the numerous other Scots who actually run the government? Brown is a real football fan: will we see him supporting England?
England winning the World Cup will be a major national event - could it also lead to a more English identity becoming apparent?
If so there will be some tricky issues for MPs to deal with - why are so many Scots running England, when Scotland has its own parliament?
If England win the World Cup, that is. Like, never gonna happen! It will be the usual - they will make it to the quarter or semi-finals and lose on penalties. Usually to Argentina or Germany.
