After Britain: New Labour and the Return of Scotland

3.2/5 ( ratings)

After Britain is a scathing analysis of the twilight of an ancient state: the United Kingdom. Its constitutional monarchy , its parliamentary democracy , and its rule of law were once the envy of the world. Now, a "modernizing" government is embarking on a last ditch effort to shore up the fragments of old glory. In this mordantly funny and brilliantly perceptive book, Tom Naim shows how self-government in Scotland and Wales will inexorably remove sovereignty from Westminster. He also paints a satirical portrait of New Labour that cuts through the glitz and spin to the emptiness beneath.
