I believe the UK should introduce a written constitution, with protections like the US first amendment. I think any law that infringes these should be annulled.
The protections would be:
Parliament shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

I want the Government to change the current uncodified constitution to a written codified constitution.
The UK currently has an uncodified constitution which is confusing and ambiguous - making it difficult for citizens to understand.
This leaves the political system open to abuse.

We believe we have an unwritten Constitution foisted on the people and this is wrong morally. We think a written Constitution is needed outlining relationships between Head of State and Parliament (both Houses) and their interconnections with Security Services, Judicial and other State institutions.
We think a unwritten constitution allows certain groups to have too much power. With a written constitution people are fully informed on what to expect from the State and what is expected of them to the State. With a written Constitution people could be fully informed on who is in charge of procedures in Parliament and other state bodies; and who a citizen can successfully prosecute in civil and criminal courts.
