A Referendum in the United Kingdom to codify the British Constitution.
A bill to authorise the holding of a referendum in relation to the codification of the UK constitution should be debated and voted on within Parliament.
It is a primary principle of any government that, being as we institute governments for the purpose of protecting our rights, and that the governed have transparent knowledge of what their rights are. The current status of the constitution doesn't serve these ends.
The very content of the constitution is unclear to the average person, and discerning which Acts of Parliament are and aren't constitutional law is vague. A codified constitution would make our political system and our rights clear.
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:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you want there to be a referendum relating to codification of the British constitution, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like people to be asked to decide on.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
