Have a referendum on if free speech should be a constitutional right in Britain.
In the United States of America there is a constitution which include the right to free speech; this gives the ability to more open political debates and is one of the was citizens can be protected from many things such as a tyrannical government. Although it is not a modern threat it is needed.
In recent times we have seen many political speekers; of whom many are right wing. This is starting to be talked about by citizens whom many which legal protection when expressing political veiw points.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We understand that you would like a referendum on whether free speech should be a constitutional right. However, the UK does not have a written constitution like the United States so we are not sure how you would like such a right to be introduced.
You might like to start a new petition on holding a referendum either on a Free Speech Act or on introducing a written constitution that includes free speech instead.
