"Show me the incentive and I’ll show you the outcome"

The incentive is for Whitehall power, size and scope to grow like a cancer FOREVER!

Magna Carter became possible, because the nobility had armed groups that rivaled the king's!

Once completely disarmed 1920-1997, impossible to hold the Whitehall gang to any standard, much less a higher one!

Cannot concentrate ALL power in a 100% coercively funded, armed gang, and expect it to limit itself in any aspect!

Secessions and return of regional monarchies seems the sole and rather unlikely way to recreate sensible areas to live in the British Isles.
