The integrity of the UK is under threat. In fact, is it too late to save the Union? Not yet, write Stephen Green, Thomas Legg, and Martin Donnelly – but to so will require extensive reform, crucially of the UK’s constitution. And the national discussion must begin now. In Unwritten Rule, the authors add an authoritative voice to the conversation, identifying first the flaws in the UK’s constitution and second the opportunities we must seize if the Union is to remain a meaningful part of our identity and to serve its people effectively.
"Brexit has put in question much of the traditional fabric of the constitution. Unwritten Rule is a brave attempt to show how it can be remoulded. While few will agree with all of the proposed remedies, Unwritten Rule will undoubtedly re-invigorate the debate. It is written with clarity and verve by experienced practitioners in government." -- Vernon Bogdanor, Professor of Government, King's College, London
"A timely, compelling and extremely important contribution to the most pressing political debate of the next decade. Can we reinvent the United Kingdom for the next century as it has so often been reinvented in the past? The authors suggest a series of positive steps, including constitutional reform and significant devolution in England, in the hope that the nations and regions of the United Kingdom can find enough common ground to prevent a painful dissolution of the Union." -- Gavin Esler, author of How Britain Ends: English Nationalism and the Rebirth of Four Nations
