Home / Accountability / Conservative

Under Mr Blair

Under Mr Blair, the way we are governed has become less accountable, more complex and, ultimately, less democratic. Ministers don’t take responsibility for their failures. Unprecedented powers have been given to new, unelected and remote bodies, including regional assemblies for which there is no popular support. The House of Commons has been steadily undermined, and proper reform of the House of Lords has been repeatedly promised but never delivered.

Comments

I think Howard should have run this past Derek Lewis before talking about accountability.
