Reviews

I bought this book because I couldn't find anything published to date that offers an accessible overview of the Blair/Brown era and an evaluation of the constitutional changes made. The section on aims and achievements under Blair is good, as is the case for and against codification. More on changes to rights/rights culture/judiciary would have been handy but overall - a pretty good summary of this topic. Amazon reviews
