Blueprint for a UK constitutional convention /
Blueprint for a United Kingdom constitutional convention
Alan Renwick and Robert Hazell.
"June 2017".
Proposals for a UK constitutional convention are made by several parties in their 2017 election manifestos and have been prominent on the political agenda for several years. Such proposals are offered both as a response to widespread disillusionment with the state of democracy and as a means of addressing the deep constitutional challenges posed by Brexit and uncertainty over the future of the Union. This report examines the issues, explores the lessons to be learned from constitutional conventions elsewhere, and identifies the pitfalls to be avoided.
