Constitutional Futures A History of the Next Ten Years [Hardcover]

This is the first book about constitutional reform which sets out to forecast what the UK's constitution will look like in ten years time. Starting with the eleven constitutional Bills passed in 1997-98, the book analyzes how these will affect the UK's constitutional structure, and examines in detail the further reforms that will be required to ensure that the new constitutional settlement beds down.
