| Summary |
This book explores the origins, development and current features of the unwritten constitution of0the United Kingdom and considers the argument that this constitution has passed its sell-by date0and needs to be replaced by a written constitution recognising the UK as a federal country along the0lines of Canada and Australia. The book diagnoses what is currently amiss with the UK?s unwritten0constitution and why, if the Union is to be preserved, it may make sense to establish a formal0federation. It attempts to present objective arguments for and against a federal structure and0concludes that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. A federal structure could maximise0the benefits of cooperation between semi-autonomous regions while at the same time paying due0respect to the nationalisms that exist within constituent parts of the country. |
