Constitutional Reform

Given the shameful lack of media coverage of our recent online Autumn Federal Conference some of you may well be unaware that the party members present voted overwhelmingly in favour of a major reform of our parliamentary system. Given attempts, notably during the Brexit process to undermine the role of Parliament and judiciary plus recurrent sleaze and other abuses of power we are proposing creating a written constitution alongside Lords reform and devolution of powers comparable to those enjoyed by the Scots and the Welsh to an English regional tier of government. (This would also resolve the infamous "West Lothian Question" where Welsh and Scottish MPs can speak and vote on matters which, since devolution, apply only to England). The principle of subsidiarity would be applied to ensure, as a minimum, no diminution in the role of existing local authorities in England.
