1. The validity. I am unsure whether this should be an issue for nations that have Devolution only, or whether it should also be included for nations that have given some autonomy to regional authorities. I have encountered a few issues myself where the option to give some autonomy to local authorities didn't immediately install the Devolution policy. I'd like to know what others think of this and whether other validities should be added as well.
2. Does the premise convey it's real world inspiration well enough? Or does it need more clarity/need to be sharpened?
3. Option 4. This option might seem like a reversal for Devolution and of course not every issue on the topic of a policy needs a reversal included in the options. As such, I have left it in for the first draft, but if people feel it would be better to leave it out, I can reduce the options to 3 in a subsequent draft.
