Yorkshire: Bring back the Ridings

For many centuries Yorkshire was divided into Ridings: North, East and West.  The Ridings became county councils although major cities and towns  became county boroughs not subject to the county councils.  See:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_local_government_in_Yorkshire

The changes in local government involved also the historic boundaries of Yorkshire being changed, with some losses and a few gains on territory.

The English Democrats state thus:

We favour - recognition for traditional counties, which would include the reunification of
Yorkshire.

What does this mean?  Yorkshire has never been a 'unified' county, it has been divided into the Ridings for centuries. It may be that what is intended is that the pre 1974 boundaries be re-introduced along with the county boroughs.   Then again, it may not.
