Might formal federation of the empire, statesmen wondered, prevent its future dismemberment? Colley's investigation of British integration and disintegration is, she reminds us, inseparable from the history of British colonisation overseas. By the same token, we also need to take into account, she argues, Britain's semi-detached connection to Europe. Between and , the Hanoverians ruled over a composite state, Britain-Hanover. As the German kingdom of Hanover did not descend in the female line, this dynastic union ended on the accession of Queen Victoria to the British throne. Gibraltar too has been a vital strategic possession since the war of the Spanish succession. Yet, a referendum on the Anglo-Scottish Union seems likely to be followed in the UK or its rump by one on continued membership of the European Union. Have the combined pressures of European integration, domestic devolution and the lack of a specific parliament or assembly for England, Colley wonders, provoked a crisis of English identity? The Scottish debate over independence, in contrast, has been dominated by the vexed question of whether an independent Scotland would enjoy automatic entry into the EU. Nationalists, she laments, invoke history only to distort it. Topics Politics books. Acts of Union - Wikipedia This episode is related to United Kingdom.

BBC Radio 4 - Acts of Union and Disunion Its government has to acknowledge the distinctiveness and quasi-autonomy of its component parts, while also having a vision for, and projecting an idea of, the whole. A written constitution might be one way of helping people to sort out a new kind of unionism. And if not that, well, why not a charter of UK rights? For instance, the move to pull shipbuilding out of Portsmouth may indeed have been based on purely commercial and economic factors, but as these decisions accumulate they are going to build up a lot of English resentment, and this is part of what is feeding into UKIP. Why should Scotland and Wales and Northern Ireland have their own representative assembly, but not England? So you need a more explicitly federal system in which the four parts of the UK each have their own assembly, with the Westminster parliament focusing on cross-border and over-arching issues such as foreign
