DI-VOLUTION: An essential guide to winning in a digitally transformed post-pandemic environment

Product Information

We must stop leaving half the country out of our economy, and we must stop flying on only one wing. Everyone in the South as well as the North loses out from an unbalanced economy, with, congestion, higher housing costs and accelerating inflation in one part of the country, and underemployment, people forced to leave where they grew up for opportunity and often depopulation in another. Territory legislation can be disallowed by the Commonwealth Parliament in Canberra, with one notable example being the NT's short-lived voluntary euthanasia legislation. Our starting point is a modern system of decision making that does not start from the top – but starts from the people and is grounded in new ways of consulting, participating, and deciding. In federalism the national and state governments are equal whereas in devolution the central government is more powerful

While negotiations on a land claims settlement progressed, work was also taking place to determine potential jurisdictional boundaries for a new Eastern Territory. A proposal was presented to all NWT voters in a May 1992 plebiscite. Of those voting, 54 percent supported the proposed boundary. The Government of the Northwest Territories, the Tungavik Federation of Nunavut (the Inuit claims organization) and the federal government formally adopted the boundary for division in the Nunavut Political Accord. The final piece of the equation fit into place on June 10, 1993, when the Nunavut Act received Royal Assent. It officially established the territory of Nunavut and provided a legal framework for its government. It fixed April 1, 1999, as the day on which the new territory would come into existence. More recently, mayoral combined authorities have also led on the development of Local Industrial Strategies, (whereas in areas without directly elected mayors these have been led by Local Enterprise Partnerships. Devolution refers to the transfer of certain powers from the central UK government to nations and regions within the United Kingdom. It can involve the establishment of legislative assemblies or parliaments and governments or executives within these sub-state territories.On June 18, 2021, the Labrador Inuit self-government Nunatsiavut stated that it had begun the process of seeking devolution of child protection services from the Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Children, Seniors, and Social Development with the goal for negotiations to conclude within three years.

The directly elected mayor is a member of the combined authority. The mayor has one vote, however combined authority legislation often requires the mayor’s vote is included in majorities in favour of a decision. As a result, the mayor has a veto over some of the authority’s decision-making and member authorities may not be able to make decisions in these instances. These sentiments don’t just threaten Britain’s economic prospects: they threaten the very existence of the United Kingdom.

The USA has an entrenched constitution meaning the powers of the state as are very hard to change however the uncodified constitution of the uk means powers can quite easily be added/ taken away from devolved nationsLocal and devolved decision makers are already substantially more trusted than central government to make decisions in the best interests of their area. There is also clear evidence that people want more of a say on the issues that affect their lives, meaning we need double devolution – pushing power as close as possible to people and communities.
