In September 1997 the Conservative Party replaced it’s policy on the Union (Unionist) with a new policy (Devolutionist).

14 years later devolution is not only breaking apart the Union it is breaking the political parties that voted for it in the first place. In Scotland it is proposed by the Conservative Deputy Leader that the party be disbanded. (to be decided on November 4^th 2011). In Wales Conservative leaders now call for the party to change it’s name and be “wholly and solely based in Wales”. The Conservative Party is paying the price for it's decision 14 years ago.
