The Death of Britain? by John Redwood
Can the United Kingdom survive devolution, European integration, reform of the Lords, slimming of the monarchy, proportional representation? Will Scotland now shatter the Union by demanding full independence? Will the new House of Lords be anything more than a rubber stamp full of friends of the Prime Minister? Does the abolition of the pound mean common taxation and political union with France and Germany? In this dramatic new book John Redwood argues that the end result of Labour's constitutional reforms will be a nation in tatters - unless the British people wake up now and insist on British Parliamentary democracy still holding sway. In the name of the people the people's right to a voice and to justice is being damaged. More and more decisions are being made behind closed doors, in quangoes and in Brussels. There is still time to save the country - and it is worth saving.
JOHN REDWOOD is a leading figure in economic and constitutional matters. A regular contributor to major newspapers and journals, he has also published Popular Capitalism, The Global Market Place and Our Currency, Our Country. He has been a Oxford academic, an industrial company chairman, a senior civil servant and a merchant bank director. He is currently a Member of Parliament and Shadow Secretary of State for Trade and Industry and has contested the Conservative leadership. He pioneered privatisation in Britain, and took it to many countries overseas. More recently he has led the public debate with business on the single currency for Western Europe, and is a keen supporter of William Hague's 'Battle for Britain' campaign.
