“Devolution: the moving of power or a responsibility in a main organisation to a lower level or from a central government to local government”

http://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/devolution

WHAT IT DOES NOT MEAN:

The moving of power from an elected body of councillors to an unelected small group of business people (Heart of the South West Local Enterprise Partnership) who have their own agendas and pecuniary interests and who are untransparently unaccountable to no-one.

And all being done in secret with no public consultation.

Anyone not understand why people might be critical of this?
