Petitions had to stop because of the recent general election. Once a new Petitions Committee is set up by the House of Commons, petitions will start again.

Closed petition Introduce a written constitution based on the American model

Introduce a written constitution based on the model of the American Constitution and Thomas Paine’s The Rights of Man, that protects inalienable rights of all citizens. We believe this would better protect the poor, vulnerable and elderly.

More details

We believe a written constitution would better avoid legal grey areas, and set in stone fundamental rights and protections. Only the Government and Parliament can do this.

This could be an unprecedented change of British politics to rival political systems of the world for the 21st century.

About petition data

The data shows the number of people who have signed the petition by country as well as in the constituency of each Member of Parliament. This data is available for all petitions on the site. It is not a list of people who have signed the petition. The only name that is shared on the site is that of the petition creator.

We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
