For Britain See Wales

For more than twenty years, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have had devolved governments, gaining confidence and control of policy areas. But Brexit and the Covid-19 pandemic drew public attention to their powers, prompting fundamental questions about the economy and control of funds. Now Joe England explores the possible constitutional melt-down of an economically and politically divided United Kingdom and its implications, and reflects on how Wales came to be the poorest nation of all. As a constitutional crisis looms, this book examines what new Wales might arise from the old and what kind of a society it could be. This is the story of how Wales reached an economic and constitutional crossroads and the choices that must now be made.
