I think its time for a codified constitution, and an official federal structure. Including a first minister for England, with a powerful supreme court. Great article Chamberlain!
I believe that the coronavirus crisis has made the need to reform our politics clearer and more urgent than it ever was before. Covid-19 has exposed the political culture in Westminster as not fit for purpose. It’s time for reform.https://buff.ly/2ASm2AJ

Agreed. A codified constitution to protect the bottom 99% of the population would be a great step forward.https://99-percent.org/five-actions-to-save-the-post-war-social-contract/ …

I totally agree. I can’t believe a party can win a huge majority on such a small share of votes. I don’t think either of the main parties will support a change though

Wendy, I couldn’t agree more and hopefully lots more of us are coming to the same conclusion and the sooner we adopt a proportional representation electoral system, as do 40 of the 43 countries within Europe, the better.

New Labour should have done this in their second term of office but they were control freaks and beguiled by their own massive majority. Think that ship may have sailed. No acknowledgement that the Lib Dems made a right mess of the AV referendum?

Yes. Dump the Byzantine inefficient FPTP system for one that provides proportionality or allows multiple thoughts via transferablility.
