That the UK is unique among developed nations in the centralisation of its economic decision making and lack of regional autonomy.

Genuine question, is that really true? All developed nations?

Head of HM Treasury says so... https://www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/news/in-the-press/uk-%E2%80%98almost-most-centralised-developed-country%E2%80%99-says-treasury-chief

Some discussion... https://www.quora.com/Is-the-UK-really-the-most-centralised-country-in-Europe

TLDR, Not all nations, but all big ones. Small countries by definition have less scope for regional autonomy.
