The Death of Britain? - Softcover
Can the United Kingdom survive devolution, European integration, reform of the Lords, slimming of the monarchy, proportional representation?
Will Scotland now shatter the Union by demanding full independence? Will the new House of Lords be anything more than a rubber stamp full of friends of the Prime Minister? Does the abolition of the pound mean common taxation and political union with France and Germany?
In this dramatic new book John Redwood argues that the end result of Labour's constitutional reforms will be a nation in tatters - unless the British people wake up now and insist on British Parliamentary democracy still holding sway.
In the name of the people the people's right to a voice and to justice is being damaged. More and more decisions are being made behind closed doors, in quangoes and in Brussels. There is still time to save the country - and it is worth saving.

Synopsis:
Can the United Kingdom survive devolution, European integration, reform of the Lords, slimming of the monarchy and proportional representation? Will the new House of Lords be anything more than a rubber stamp full of friends of the Prime Minister? Will Scotland now shatter the Union by demanding full independence? In this work, John Redwood, a leading thinker of the Conservative right and twice contender for the party leadership, looks at the sweeping changes to Britain's institutions, democracy and the way of life now coming from the European project. Viewing the Blairite revolution as the agency for wider changes coming from the agenda of France, Germany and the European Commission, Redwood asks the key questions: are these changes inevitable, are they desirable, and what will they mean for British democracy?
