Constitutional Reform

Constitutional reform we need:

• A referendum on EU membership
• The wide spread introduction of Caucuses and Open Primaries so that constituents can vote for the Person and the Party of their choice
• The introduction of the Right to Recall MPs
• An immediate review of the electoral boundaries and sizes so that constituency sizes are made more equal.
• An elected Second Chamber
• A reduction in the power of the whips
• A transparent, workable expenses system
• An answer to the West Lothian question
• A Minister answerable to the House of Commons for every single department and QUANGO

Constitutional reform that would be useful / welcomed:

• Fewer MP’s
• Parliamentary terms lowered to a maximum of four years
• Annual referendums to consult directly on certain issues
• The ability to petition Parliament when a public petition canvases sufficient signatures

All of the above would help towards securing a return of Parliamentary supremacy.

What we don’t need.

• A vote on changing the voting system just as Labour are about to head into oblivion
