Democratic Audit say; The cumulative adverse impacts of austerity and non-growth policies (2010–18) on core executive capabilities...Civil service efficacy has radically declined, the quality of public services has significantly worsened, and local government has been hollowed out.
...major departments has stuttered and malfunctioned ... generating policy disasters over Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and Brexit in foreign affairs, and in the domestic realm over NHS reorganisation (2010–12), Universal Credit (2011–18) and the complete erosion of building safety regulations that became evident in the Grenfell Tower catastrophe. UK democracy is still limited by legacy arrangements from imperial or pre-democratic times that should have no place in a modern liberal democracy, including: A completely unelected second chamber ...with no accountability to citizens at all, an extensive ‘dark state’ apparatus, subject to no or only vestigial overview ...an unclear residue of ‘crown prerogative’ powers ...to take major executive actions alone, without parliamentary approval. A main electoral system ...that dates from mediaeval times and erratically assigns parties seats ... power-sharing devolution arrangements in Northern Ireland have ceased to operate.
