United Kingdom
Devolution was introduced in 1998 in Scotland and Wales, but not in England.
The Labour Party is in favour of devolution to Regions of England, whereas the Conservative Party prefers "English Votes on English Laws". Some political parties such as the English Democrats Party want a full English parliament. The Liberal Democrats are currently reviewing their policies on this subject.

Famous quotes containing the words united and/or kingdom:
“We are apt to say that a foreign policy is successful only when the country, or at any rate the governing class, is united behind it. In reality, every line of policy is repudiated by a section, often by an influential section, of the country concerned. A foreign minister who waited until everyone agreed with him would have no foreign policy at all.”
—A.J.P. (Alan John Percivale)
“The kingdom of our Prospero, Freud, now dissolves in air.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
