F21: A Framework for England in a Federal UK
Submitted by: Federal Policy Committee
Mover: Cllr Prue Bray.
Conference believes that:
The UK s constitution is no longer fit for purpose, failing to deliver appropriate representation, disempowering communities and risking the break-up of the UK.
Too much power and control over people s lives is hoarded in Westminster and Whitehall, especially in England, with regions and communities excluded from decision making over their areas, leading to a dangerous sense of powerlessness and alienation from government.
Power and decision making should be dispersed as widely as possible across the UK, which is best delivered through a federal system of government.
