Reshaping Britain - an student take on post-referendum Britain

The Scottish Referendum has been and gone but the question of how the UK regions evolve politically is now a very hot topic indeed. I was contacted by a Government and Politics student from Barnard Castle School in County Durham called Oliver Larcombe, who along with his friend Ben, have written a paper about how the UK's constitutional and electoral map could be altered to encompass the greater sense of local autonomy that is growing.

Have a read of the paper - I'm sure you'll find it interesting in its own right. I'd like to commend Oliver and Ben on their research and writing style. Could this be an exercise for your students? Could you set them the task of coming up with a completely new pattern of government for the UK?
