Constitution and Devolution Essay PlansDevolution - Powers that are decentralised to local or regional
governments
Evaluate the view that devolution has been good for Wales and
Scotland but not for England and Northern Ireland
P1 - Devolved governments can respond more effectively to local
issues and concerns. The proximity of decision-makers to the
population allows for policies that better reflect the needs of the
people in Wales and Scotland. Eg - Community Empowering Act
2015 (Scotland) - giving communities more control over local assets
and decision making processes, allowing to buy land and buildings.
Disadv - Elected mayors do not represent the interests of the people
living in their cities, leading to a democratic deficit in the UK. Eg -
Sadiq Khan's ULEZ expansion can worsen the cost of living crisis of
low income drivers.
P2 - Strengthened the national Identity and self-governance of
Wales. Eg - The Welsh Language Act 1993 implemented policies to
promote and facilitate the use of the Welsh Language
Disadv - Potential for conflict with devolution in Northern Ireland.
Devolution has been intertwined with the delicate issue of the peace
process. Eg - An IRA spy ring operated at the seat of the Northern
Ireland assembly in 2002, erupting political turmoil, which led to
the suspension of the Northern Ireland Assembly from 2002-2007.
