Reinventing Democracy

- Improving British political governance

Bag om Reinventing Democracy

90% of electors want political reform. But how to escape the mess? Britain should adopt a federal structure with a written constitution and an elected apolitical People's Council replacing autocratic and ineffective bodies. Growing concern about the relative economic deterioration of the United Kingdom led to realisation that the system of political governance is probably an unrecognised cause of British decline. Events over the last few years have provided a fertile supply of examples. All that was needed was some original thought, but nobody seemed to be facing facts. At the centre of these ideas lie four major concepts: The People's Council to replace the Privy Council, House of Lords, and some scrutiny functions of the present House of Commons.A federal structure, with sovereignty defined as sovereignty of the people of each nation instead of the Crown in parliament.Representation in United Kingdom-wide bodies to be determined according to the Fibonacci series, so that England can be outvoted by Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland combined, thereby preventing England treating the other nations as colonies.The book includes a draft written constitution. "The oldest democracy is now an obsolete model long overdue for replacement."

Beskrivelse af Reinventing Democracy

90% of electors want political reform. But how to escape the mess? Britain should adopt a federal structure with a written constitution and an elected apolitical People's Council replacing autocratic and ineffective bodies.

Growing concern about the relative economic deterioration of the United Kingdom led to realisation that the system of political governance is probably an unrecognised cause of British decline. Events over the last few years have provided a fertile supply of examples. All that was needed was some original thought, but nobody seemed to be facing facts.

At the centre of these ideas lie four major concepts:
The People's Council to replace the Privy Council, House of Lords, and some scrutiny functions of the present House of Commons.A federal structure, with sovereignty defined as sovereignty of the people of each nation instead of the Crown in parliament.Representation in United Kingdom-wide bodies to be determined according to the Fibonacci series, so that England can be outvoted by Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland combined, thereby preventing England treating the other nations as colonies.The book includes a draft written constitution.
"The oldest democracy is now an obsolete model long overdue for replacement."
