Yorkshire Rising brings together three earlier books that explore the opportunities for Yorkshire to take back control and move decision-making closer to home and further away from the rarified atmosphere of those in Westminster who only visit to buy mansions or pretend to care when there's an election. The collated books are prefaced with a lampoon of the last
decade of political incompetence followed by a folk tale that summarises how we rose up again to inherit a future. Yorkshire The Case For Independence explores whether we have the potential finances, resources and skills to become independent and the answer is a resounding 'YES'. Yorkshire 2027 analyses trends - whether local, national or international, traces UK politics over some 80 years and how the four twenty-year cycles are about to re-start to our benefit. Yorkshire 2035 looks forward from the 2024 election to the hastily called 2027 election and the changes to currency and voting systems that open the door to a new political party called Yorkshire Rising which does rather well at the 2032 election.
