In fact the very fact that through nearly a millennia they have refused to produce their constitution in a formal written structure reiterates that sentiment. And although the undercurrent of maintaining certain traditional and cultural norms remains strong, the national government has on frequent occasion had to accept the often frequent and ill-fated changes within the

Identify and explain two significant developments resulting from the welfare state. The NHS came around in July 5, 1948. The Health Minister Aneurin (also known as Nye) Bevan purely nationalised the existing system across the UK. The groundbreaking change was to make all services freely available to everyone. Half of Scotland’s landmass was already covered by a state-funded health system serving the entire community and directly run from Edinburgh. Additionally, the war years had seen a state-funded

In the centuries to follow these hereditary stewards ascended to the Scottish throne as kings, adopting the surname Stewart for themselves and ultimately forming the Stuart dynasty that ruled Scotland, Ireland, and England during the 17th century [13].

In the vast majority of political systems, which have gone through the processes of federalisation or decentralization, the courts have assumed a prominent role in resolving intergovernmental disputes. However, academics, such as Alan Trench and Robert Hazel, agree, that courts’ role in the working of devolution in the United Kingdom was limited. They name political congruence in the UK as a main factor minimizing the role of the judiciary in the devolution process. There also is a number of secondary

It tells the story of a young girl, Margaret, who was evacuated from the city of Glasgow to the highlands of Scotland in an attempt to avoid the inhumanity of war, but it is in the highlands where she truly witnessed the brutality of war.

In answering this question it is first necessary to define what is meant by the term ‘New Labour.' With respect to the history of politics, ‘New Labour' is a fairly recent description of a change or shift in the Labour party ideology occurring within the last 12 years. It refers to a gradual shift of Labour from political left to a more conservative right wing approach to various issues and in terms of the political spectrum, Labour now occupy the middle-to-right area, rather than the middle-to-left

of the Conservative Party in the UK, which is believed to be one of the major agenda objectives of the Devolution. The transfer of power to devolved regional assemblies, e.g. Scottish Parliament, devolved powers have become entrenched and this means that regional assemblies are virtually impossible to remove. E.g. Scottish and Welsh students have their university tuition fees covered, the ban on promoting homosexuality in schools has been repealed by Holyrood, and the NI Assembly has ploughed its
