Also... i'd say the only problem with devolution is that when you deal with extremists you end up getting extremes.

For example in the US.  California is mostly run by Democrats.

It's constantly going bankrupt because it's local governments spend way more then they can afford, end up raising taxes on anyone with any money forcing those people to feel the state.   It's in GIANT trouble and needs a lot of fiscal responsibility.

On the other hand, you've got Nevada.  No state taxes except sales tax and a VERY small casino tax.  Desperatly needs more money, needs to raise taxes... won't do it.   As such they face horrible budget crisises have to cut essential services and suggest things like a charity to pay salaries.
