Tony Bl air has described the reforms as 'the biggest programme of change to democracy ever proposed'. It will transform the political landscape, in ways that are not yet fully understood; and some which the government does not intend. These changes include: The emergence of a new territorial politics, with greater competition between the nations and regions of the UK. Fragmentation of the party system, a nd the strengthening of regional political parties. A shift of power from Parliament to the courts through devolution and the new bill of rights. Changing concepts of citizenship and national identity . in a time of unprecedented constitutional change, this book is the first to forecast the political landscape ahead of us and predict what lies around the political and legal corner in the twenty-fir st century.
