Our current constitution allows for too much of the power and decision making to take place in Westminster and Whitehall.
This excludes entire regions of the UK especially in England from being able to make a contribution to decisions that affect them. Communities feel unable to control what happens in their local areas. This leads to a dangerous feeling of powerlessness and alienation. The Conservative government talks of “levelling up” the UK yet consistently hordes all the power down in Westminster. It fails to disperse decision making throughout the country.
