With the parlous state of government in the US in recent times, there has been much discussion and debate about how best to run public services. Whilst the US has a clearly defined constitution that outlines the philosophies by which government should operate, the UK has no such single document.
In a unique project, LSE’s Institute of Public Affairs (IPA) and Department of Law are coming together with the LSE Public Policy Group and LSE Democratic Audit to pioneer the crowdsourcing of a new UK constitution to ask members of the public to participate in, advise on and eventually to draft a new UK constitution.
You can see more about the project below, with a clip from the first ConstitutionUK event. It isn’t particularly clear at the moment how people can actually get involved in this process. They have a website for the project, but in reality this is a selection of blog posts, none of which seem to offer an opportunity to get involved in the process.
Hmm, that would be pretty darn difficult I'd say.
Never say never, but I'd be really surprised if this amounted to anything useful.
Looks like LSE are back for another go
