 Labour’s Great Britain: Remodeling Westminster
While the other powers, the Crown and the House of Lords, have been reduced to "dignified parts" of "The English Constitution" (Walter Bagehot), the real sovereign in British politics and the only source for the legitimacy of institutions in the United Kingdom is since the early 19th century the House of Commons.
The successful referendums in 1997 and the elections of regional parliaments in Scotland and Wales are the most apparent symbol of Labour's will to reform the bases of British democracy, following in many cases the example given by the partners in the European Union.
Indeed, it was mainly the successful example of de-centralization in Spain in the 80s, especially in the region of Catalonia, which turned out to become an inspiration and guiding light for the Scottish Nationalists asking for more autonomy in the UK.
