Radical Federalism
Puts power into the hands of people and communities

Our philosophy

Aneurin Bevan said that the purpose of getting power is to be able to give it away. This principle underpins radical federalism.

The UK Transformed

Radical constitutional reform is no longer an option, it is an unavoidable necessity. The internal conflicts within the structure of the UK must be resolved.

We believe that the people of Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and England should be offered the opportunity to make a positive choice for the opportunity to envision, and contribute to the creation of a modern, collaborative, distributed and open democracy – the UK transformed.

Who we are

Radical Federalism is a collective drawn mainly from Wales, but with representation from Scotland and England also.
