New Labour’s Constitutional Reforms
The Labour Party is a political party created on 27 November 1900 a centre-left party in the United Kingdom.
There has been a governing party that is a ruling party of this country since it went into coalition twice during the 1920s and finally won power in the 1945 general election.
The New Labour Party, or New Labour Project, aimed to attempt in the 1990s to revitalise the ability to win power and to make radical reform, particularly to the United Kingdom’s Uncodified constitution, which has been highly detrimental, even harmful to the integrity of the United Kingdom.
The history of Britain, particularly the history of England, the past 1100 years, has been a long and bloody process of centralising political power in southern England going back to King Offa of Mercia, who ruled from 757 to 796 and King Alfred the Great, who reigned from 871 until he died in 899.
These two kings mark a point in the history of the British Isles where the first attempts at creating a united England were made.
Ultimately, Alfred the Great’s grandson Athelstan, the first King of the English from 927 until 939, would succeed in creating a united England and making the kings of Scots and the Welsh prince’s vassals to the English crown.
The new Labour Party destroyed the integrity of the UK as a political entity. The United Kingdom is not a cultural union between the Welsh, Northern Irish, English and Scottish.
Great Britain is a Parliamentary union, and a political union is not a cultural union, legal union or religious union.
The Act of Union of 1707 Scotland was a union that brought together the parliaments of England, Wales and Scotland as a political union.
Since Labour first put forward devolution in the Scottish referendum for devolution assembly in 1979, which failed to get a majority, the assembly was never created.
When Labour got back into power after it lost the 1979 general election and was not back in power until 1997, the new Labour, under the leadership of Tony Blair, was Prime Minster (PM) of the UK from 1997 to 2007 then, followed by another Labour PM Gordan Brown from 2007 to 2010.
These PMs brought a series of constitutional reforms, including devolution to Northern Ireland, Wales and Scotland.
The turnout for these referendums in Wales was around 60% of the available electorate. This means that nearly 40% of people who could vote did not vote.
Devolution also weakened the union of Great Britain as a political entity because, without the Parliamentary union, there could be no true union.
As stated above, the United Kingdom is a political union, not a cultural union, meaning the increasing growth of nationalism in Scotland and Wales, which was bound to happen across the union, has no longer existed since the 1990s.
