Local Government in the United Kingdom
The situation of national government, devolved government, and entirely dependent states and territories is terribly complex and dynamic. This page attempts to summarize the situation and redirect towards other, specialized pages.
Contents
Major Components
England
There is a regional authority for London. Beyond that, there is no devolved government for England.
A recurring debate in the Parliament is whether non-English members be allowed to vote for laws (supposedly) affecting only England. This is often referred to as the West Lothian question.
Wales
TODO: learn some government!
Scotland
TODO: learn some government!
Northern Ireland
Since the Belfast Agreement in 1998, there has been a devolved government in Northern Ireland.
By design, there are high barriers to the appointment of the Northern Ireland Executive. There have been significant periods wherein no devolved government can be formed (e.g., 2002 - 2007), and the British Parliament serves as the national legislature.
