Why are the English frightened of constitutional change?

The reform of Britain‘s constitution has been a watchword of the Liberal Democrats and its predecessors for over 150 years. This is partly because, compared to other countries, constitutional change has been relatively rare – particularly in England, and particularly in the 20th century. This meeting examined why this should be so. We concentrated on the areas of the reform of Parliament, and of decentralisation of power.
