Bournemouth urges UK constitution drafting
British Prime Minister Andy Burnham has proposed introducing a written constitution for the United Kingdom to enhance decentralization and transfer powers and taxes to the regions. This request comes within the context of his efforts to reform the unwieldy, non-uniform governance system, which currently relies on inconsistent laws and legal provisions, and aims to pave the way for a new constitutional agreement. The process of drafting the constitution is expected to take several years and will involve extensive consultations, with a particular emphasis on granting regional mayoralties in England greater authority over tax management. This move represents a response to the demand to weaken centralization in the country, especially since England remains one of the most centralized nations in Europe, despite previous reforms in the 1990s.
