Abstract

First paragraph: "For my own part, I would prefer a form of devolution involving a federal structure for the United Kingdom, and indeed for the British Isles. Rational analysis and non-partisan judgment drive me in this direction. Certainly federation has proved eminently successful in several of the most mature and durable democracies, such as Switzerland."
