Labour’s Great Britain: Remodeling Westminster The United Kingdom, Europe’s oldest democracy, is going through a serious process of institutional transition. Devolution towards the new regional parliaments in Scotland and Wales is one significant aspect of the changes. The turn of a centuries-old tradition of centralism shows, however, the determination of Tony Blair’s governing Labour Party to reform the very heart of British politics. Many other projects are yet underway, such as a reform of the House of Lords and of the electoral system. Many of the new concepts, such as people’s sovereignty, federalism and proportional rule, have swapped over to Britain from the Continent, especially through the influence exercised by the EU-integration. Many of the reforms planned by Labour are therefore moving the British democracy closer to its counterparts on the Continent. Thus, the world’s first and unique model of parliamentary democracy could soon lose many of its former peculiarities. All together these changes are going to transform almost any aspect of the British political tradition as we knew it, with the risk to jeopardize even the unique stability, pragmatism and efficiency that has always distinguished the Westminster model. tony • blair • labour • westminster • britain

Elections in Scotland: United Kingdom at Devolution After almost 300 years Scotland has elected a new Parliament. With the regional elections in Scotland and Wales the United Kingdom has made an important step towards devolution of political power. In both regions voters preferred the Labour Party for its reforms in favor of regional resurrection. Nationalist parties arrived second in both assemblies, while the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats found themselves third and fourth. After its victory in Great Britain´s general elections in 1997, Tony Blair's governing Labour Party had accelerated reforms by two referendums for regional autonomy for both Scotland and Wales. The popular decisions in favor of the reform and now the elections of regional assemblies represent only a first step in a wider reform process that is going to change institutions in the UK. scotland • wales • england • united kingdom • elections

Margaret Thatcher's Revolution of 1979? (book review) Margaret Thatcher was one of the more important Prime Ministers of the twentieth century, particularly the second half. While it is too early to fully assess or begin to assess (in my opinion) the effect of her premiership, this extended essay of books by Kenneth Harris, Hugo Young, Kenneth Minogue and Michael Biddess, and Peter Jenkins offers a starting point for what is <i>now</i> a very tentative and incomplete historical account, but what will eventually be further completed by historians. margaret thatcher • thatcherism • influence • british society
