The British state has never been as fragile as it is today, not since Ireland's secession from the United Kingdom a century ago. Northern Ireland operates under trading rules that are legally distinct from the rest of the nation, while support for independence in Wales is at a historic high. Scotland, moreover, is more aware of its unique identity and aspires to a European future. With public trust and confidence in the government at record lows, the UK faces a crisis that can only be resolved through a new constitutional settlement. Unwritten Rule advocates for a radical realignment, embracing a federal approach that would accommodate devolution as the best way to achieve a successful and diverse national life, enhancing democratic control over local and national decision-making, and modernizing our national political structures. It will be a challenging journey, but comprehensive reform is essential if we are to ensure that the United Kingdom not only survives but thrives in the coming decades.
