A Democratic Devolution – Devolving England IV

by Chris | 13 Oct 2008 | No Comment

Over at the Wardman Wire, we are holding an online symposium on devolution and most specifically the issue of an English Parliament.

So far:

  • Dave Cole argues that it’s “a long way to Westminster” and the English devolution should be provided on a regional level – but he doesn’t deny that it is needed;
  • Garbo claims that we don’t need an English Parliament, and can’t have one due to them complications; and
  • Matt Wardman considers the way(s) in which we are governed and the the potential role of an English Parliament.

In my post, I’ve taken the debate in a slightly different direction, with a greater consideration of the democratic implications of devolution.

Go and read them, and contribute to the discussion!
