Loss of Our Rights

As citizens, our rights are under attack – the right to protest, strike, and hold our politicians accountable are all rolling back. Let’s campaign for a Bill of Citizens’ Rights.

The priority is to resist the government’s proposed Bill of Rights, which has been described as “constitutional butchery”.  Concerned organisations include the Law Society:

Open Democracy:

And many others.  Organisations considering constitutional reform, which covers a very broad range of issues from citizen’s rights to electoral reform, include the Citizen Network, which brings together several interested organisations and has contact with the political parties:

The Labour Party is also showing interest in Constitutional reform, and some proposals have come forward in the Brown Report:

The Electoral Reform Society also campaigns and has a presence in Scotland, N.Ireland and Wales
