We should repeal the Scotland and Wales Acts 1998 and all subsequent devolution legislation, abolishing the Scottish Parliament and Senedd Cymru.

Unicameral, European-style parliamentary structures and proportional representation mean Holyrood and Cardiff host assemblies fundamentally at odds with British constitutional tradition.

​

Policy divergences, such as tuition fees, have led to constant one-upmanship between Westminster and the devolved nations.

Devolution, intended to neutralise separatism, has instead provided nationalists a platform to agitate for the United Kingdom’s breakup.
