1: the act or process or an instance of integrating: as a: incorporation as equals into society or an organization of individuals of different groups (as races)
In the UK Constitutional sense, I’d take that as meaning that citizens from all parts of the United Kinggdom send their representatives to and are governed equally from the one sovereign parliament at Westminster, with no regional home-rule “governments”.
In case you hadn’t realized by now, I’m an integrationist Unionist...but I’m shocked to find our Prime-Minister apparently now thinking along the same lines; here’s what he said at a meeting during the Labour Party conference in Manchester:
“There is also an English lobby for a separate English parliament. The case for the UK and the integration of it has got to be put and that’s what I intend to do over the next few months.”
He’s going to campaign for the dissolution of the devolved parliaments/assemblies/talking shops which his party was instrumental in setting up? Or is his definition of "the integration" of the UK different from mine?

He is hellbent on busting up England. He is going to strengthen the powers of regional ministers in England.
He will do all he can in the few remaining weeks he has left to expunge England.
To hell with Brown, the Scots and the Union.
