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 result of "Take back control", "Get Brexit done", and "Change"2024: We wanted change, but got new faces peddling the same old, same old...2026: What we want is better public services, rising living standards (and please fix the potholes).Why do we have to vote for tribes making empty promises, or often, tactically against the worst option?Scotland and Wales are utterly fed up with England.The obvious problem is excessive central control by the London elite.The reasons for failure:a. The governance system that emerged over three centuries ago cannot cope with the complex 21st century, now revealed by Brexit.b. No channels for upward communication, inability to listen to the people.c. Endless campaigns are permitted to let off steam, but are invariably ignored while conditions deteriorate. Example: the suffragettes took a century to gain the vote.d. The entire premise of neoliberalism, which has resulted in people working harder and longer for less reward.How to fix it all? A written constitution for a federal and regional UK:Benefits of a federal UK with regional powers:1. Power devolved to the lowest level, no more absolute power to force anything through a central parliament.2. Tax raising and expenditure combined, needs mutual financial support instead of specific funds to buy off the latest complaints (such as the latest pothole fund).3. People more involved in our democracy, but this requires prohibition of character assassination.4. People should vote for policies, not images. Needs a law that all communications be “fair, clear, and not misleading”.5. Reduced patronage, less scope for rip-off financial engineering, policy divergence becomes possible, resulting in a more contented people.

Demoracy is ubder threat. 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, and preventing a slide to autocracy or worse.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 BrexitThis 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.

The Greatest Crash argues that the financial system which evolved from the early Italian bankers has now reached a roadblock. The weight of debt already created prevents further economic expansion, while paying down the debt shrinks economies. To escape this trap, evolution is needed. But bureaucratic design, delegated government, and group think, all combine to prevent evolution.
