@baob It seems to me that the Brown report is just tinkering at the edges. We need a far more ambitious review of all our governance structures.

My vision is to create a federal UK, with England split into Scotland-sized chunks (by GDP), each with its own parliament, and recast ‘Westminster’ (moved out of London) as the federal government. A model similar to Germany or US. Of course nobody is that brave, so Scotland will leave UK, and maybe even Wales too, in time. *sigh*

@KimSJ

Agree.

And yeah to 'tinkering' ... given the dire need for electoral reform.

@KimSJ @baob Devolving more and more powers to regional elected mayors could be seen as a step in that direction. Got to get the Tories out first.

@bryank @baob Steps in the right direction are useful, but far more useful if they are taken in the context of a clear destination. It’s that grand vision that’s missing in the UK at the moment. We don’t actually know if any steps we’re taking *are* in the right direction!
