Fundamental ideas and existing deficits have been identified in our DRAFT PROPOSAL with "kick off" reforms. See our skyblu page or web site Citizen, Democracy and Constitution www.iniref.org/reform-gb.html Yes, we urgently need better constitution, not just codification of what we have.

CONCEPTS AND PROPOSALS
Your right to democracy**Parliament Act for Citizens' political rights**Regulate Prerogative powers**Reform House of Lords democratically**Monarchy reformed or New Republic?**Guarantee Citizens' political rights**Draft Charter www.iniref.org/cit-dem-cons...

In the UK basic, entrenched law (“constitution”) must be made to clarify and guarantee that all power in the state which is a democracy belongs to and can be used by the people. SEE OUR COMMENT in prospect magazine

"MPs are right to abolish hereditary seats in the upper house. However, Britain needs a representative second chamber fit for modern democracy." Guardian
A problem: We do NOT have "modern democracy". We citizens must act to secure our "political rights". How to start www.iniref.org/reform-gb.html

First:

In Britain do we the people, citizens or subjects, have a clear, official right to democracy? Is there any law which guarantees that we may take part in deciding on public matters and voting to elect politicians?

(For intro. see previous post)

Please reply or comment.

Let’s ask what we think and know about democracy and about how public governance works. (More: see next post)
