  • Summary

    Constitutionally, the twenty-first century begins in 1997 with the election of the New Labour government, a government committed to constitutional reform. Most of the New Labour reforms will probably prove to be irreversible. Indeed, the Labour government of 1997–2010 may well be more remembered for these constitutional reforms than for anything it did in the social and economic sphere. And the reforms did not end with Labour’s defeat in 2010. They were continued by David Cameron’s Conservative/Liberal Democrat coalition government (the first peacetime coalition since 1931), which ruled Britain between 2010 and 2015.
