The latest edition of the Constitution Unit’s regular constitutional review, Monitor, is now available. Published three times a year, Monitor provides a unique round-up and analysis of constitutional developments over the preceding four months.

Monitor 90 is available both online and as a downloadable PDF. You can use the online version to find and share the stories that interest you the most or, if you would prefer, you can read and print the PDF version.

Among much else, this edition of Monitor covers:

• the hereditary peers bill and a lack of further progress for House of Lords reform
• tensions between government and parliament
• mould-breaking local election results
• expectations for electoral reforms and an ‘Ethics and Integrity Commission’
• developments in deliberative democracy
• reforming the European Convention on Human Rights
• plans for local government in England
• Romania’s presidential election
• the Constitution Unit’s annual conference.

You can also find Monitor’s lead story by Meg Russell and Alan Renwick on The Constitution Unit Blog. They rate this government’s constitutional reform scorecard as ‘mixed’.
