Am going to be using "sparkling local government" from now on.
Decided this is the ditch I am dying in. We already had a word for "handing some budgetary and executive powers from central to local government" and that was "decentralisation"; if it doesn't have significant legislative competency it's not "devolution", it's sparkling local government.
