Establish a UK written constitution to safeguard freedoms
The UK is one of the few democracies without a written constitution. Our rights and freedoms are scattered across laws and conventions, leaving them vulnerable. A written constitution would protect civil liberties, limit government power, and strengthen democracy for future generations.
Recent debates over the scope of executive power, the use of Henry VIII clauses, and the suspension of Parliament in 2019 have highlighted the fragility of our unwritten system. A written constitution would ensure that short-term political interests cannot erode democratic principles and civil liberties.
