The Death of Britain? Summary

The Death of Britain? by John Redwood

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.
