Comment devolution

Is devolution really something that should be implemented or could it be negative for the affected regions?

First it should be mentioned that the regions would become more independent and could focus on solving their own problems. Moreover the regions have the same power as central authorities and it would be equal. There are also negative points, for example that the regions do not care about the others and make decisions that affect them in a bad way. Furthermore systems like the school system could change and it would be hard to change schools and to cope with it.

To sum up, devolution could be positive for smaller regions to focus on their own problems, but only if there is still an active exchange with the other regions to avoid conflicts.

I would like to comment on the question if devolution is a good thing for smaller countries or if it is a bad thing. There are some positive and negative points I have found. Let’s start with the positive points. First is to mention that the people who are living in this countries are getting treated similar because they are exactly like other countries in the world. Additionally is to say that they have a better chance to do what they really want or need. Another point is that these countries are now able to focus on their own things. At least is to mention that concepts of law could be realize. Now I am going to list up the negative points which I have pointed out. One importante argument is that these countries can get overwhelmed by the situation because they have to deal with things by their own. It could also happen that the countries loose importante connections to other big countries for example England. Additionally is to mention that these countries have to solve their problems by their own. The importance point is that challenges like climate change become more difficult to deal with. All in all is to say that countries together are even better than alone. Additionally they are stronger and they are able to reach more goals.

If devolution is something good or bad is a difficult question. There are pro and contra arguments. In the following I am going to comment on this question.

First devolution is the statutory delegation of powers from the central government of a sovereign state to govern at a subnational level, such as a regional or local level. It is a form of administrative decentralization. Meaning that the regions could be more independent and make their own choices. They could decide according to their own needs. They also could get more independent with what they do with their resources. Lastly the concepts of law are getting easier, bills could be realized/passed easier because they do not need the other countries’ agreement.

On the other side do these regions have to solve their problems/ conflicts on their own without support from the country. The challenges like the climate change become more difficult to deal with and the negotiation/ trade might become more complex. Another point is that the ministers might not be as experienced as those of the Uk.

All in all one can say that there are positive and negative aspects, so everyone should decide on heir own if devolution is a good or bad thing.
