74: A Democratic Design? The political style of the Northern Ireland Assembly by Rick Wilford and Robin Wilson (May 2001)
This paper is one product of a two-pronged research project, investigating to what extent the devolution of legislative power over large swathes of policy to a parliament at Holyrood and an assembly at Stormont has been associated with a substantial change of political style. To what extent, in other words, has the opportunity been taken to ‘break the Westminster mould’? In particular, given that ‘Westminsterism’ is associated with strong executive control, and devolution is heralded as allowing distinct regional/small-national preferences to be articulated, the question can be defined in terms of to what extent the new devolved arrangements are turning out to be executive-dominant or legislature-led.
