Description

"The oldest democracy is now an obsolete model long overdue for replacement."

90% of electors want political reform. But how to escape the mess? Britain should adopt a federal structure with a written constitution and an elected apolitical People's Council replacing autocratic and ineffective bodies.

The United Kingdom needs fundamental change.

Already we see that Labour are not thinking strategically about the causes of British decline. Tackling symptoms without the root causes is unlikely to be effective.

Britain faces major challenges:

  • The climate crisis

  • An over-centralised State that cannot cope with the complexity of the twenty-first century

  • A tax base that favours oligarchs at the expense of the people

  • Determination to carry on the way things have always been done - "Nothing changes"

  • Putting right the continuing damage done by a hard Brexit

This book offers one possible solution. It's meant to move the country's thinking forward. The book calls for major reforms like implementing federalism, creating a written constitution, establishing a People's Council, and redefining the monarchy's role. It investigates the failures within the system, poor policy decisions, and the negative impacts of neo-liberal policies, proposing solutions to improve democracy, economic performance, and international status.

Only the people can bring about change. This book is a starting-point for discussion.

Read the book now if you would like UK society and governance improved.

Ignore the book if you are happy with everything the way it is.

There is much waiting for you to discover, including the first-draft written constitution of the UK.

Reviews
"Kauders' call for a written constitution and a federal association is not just relevant to the United Kingdom but holds lessons for any nation grappling with democratic challenges. Reinventing Democracy is an important catalyst for discussion and a rallying cry for a more accountable and responsive political system." - London Economic
"A compelling and clear pathway out of Britain's failing political morass towards a brighter, truly democratic future." - The European

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
