Charles Clarke supports English devolution now
Former British Home Secretary, Charles Clarke, has suddenly decided that England needs devolution and that the current discriminatory devolution settlement is threatening the union.
This isn’t the sort of opinion you suddenly have, he must have had the same opinion when he was in the cabinet and in a position to actually do something about it. This is a perfect example of why party politics is so bad for democracy – career politicians will follow the party line rather than stand up for what they believe.
Anyway, don’t get too excited about this call for English devolution – he still believes that England should be divided up into euroregions despite the fact that next to nobody in England actually wants regional government.
