Rejected petition Establish a constitutional convention to decide the future direction of the UK
The result of the EU referendum has fundamentally changed the future of the country. However the vote was on a narrow question about a single issue. Everyone in the UK should now get a say in what type of country they want us to become once we are outside the EU.
More details
A constitutional convention would allow a wide public debate on important issues about the type of UK we want to become including:
- improving our democracy through an elected House of Lords
- should the head of state be elected
- a fairer voting system that maximises people's voices
- the type of relationship we want with the EU and the single market
A constitutional convention would allow voices of people across the UK to be heard and would lead to the drafting of a UK constitution.
