Confederal Federalism - A Model for the United Kingdom?
Channel: The Federal Trust
Date: 2022-07-28

In this video, Glyndwr Cennydd Jones discusses the strategic need to explore some form of broad, constitutional compromise in the United Kingdom, which embraces the concerns of both unionists and nationalists going forward, and moves away from a ‘winner takes all’ answer to the constitutional challenges ahead.

With Nicola Sturgeon having recently addressed the Scottish Parliament about her plans for a second independence referendum, and the Commission on the Constitutional Future of Wales, established by the Welsh Government, currently considering options for fundamental reform of the UK’s constitutional structures, the four nations of these isles are potentially approaching a crossroads of sorts in their shared journey.
