Analysis of a survey of attitudes to the union found a ‘striking ambivalence’ about retaining all four nations in the UK.
The Government in Westminster’s dominance over national decision-making and politicians’ use of ‘muscular unionism’ rhetoric risks undermining public support for maintaining the UK as a single state, research by a think tank suggests
This approach risks “fuelling resentment” and undermining backing for the union in its current form, the IPPR report said.Furthermore, the analysis found sidelining devolved governments is likely to put off even those who support the union. For example, devolved governments have largely been excluded from economic development schemes which replaced European structural funds, the IPPR said.
This suggests that adopting the rhetoric of muscular unionism risks weakening already ambivalent support, IPPR said. However, when asked about sharing tax revenue, just 28% in Wales and 41% in England supported the approach.
