Citizens Convention (Accountability and Ethics) Bill
I've just sent the following email to the top 5 MPs in the ballot for bringing a private member's bill to parliament. Improvement of our political system is something I care about very deeply.
This Bill will establish a Citizens’ Convention to look at ways to make the UK political system more ethical and accountable. A Citizens’ Convention would be a deliberative assembly of ordinary men and women whose role would be to lead a national debate on how to improve UK politics and make a series of recommendations. A briefing on the can be found here on the Unlock Democracy website: http://www.unlockdemocracy.org.uk/?page_id=2033
I am not one of your constituents but understand what a rare opportunity you have been granted via the ballot. I think there is a considerable lack of confidence in our current political system and believe that this Bill, if successful, could tackle the existing political disengagement in politics.
This Bill already has considerable backing from MPs and campaign organisations, which will give it considerable weight (when being debated) in Parliament and I believe it is realistic to believe that it has a good chance of success. I think that your sponsorship of this Bill would be in the interests of all citizens in this country and I would therefore be very grateful if you would please adopt this Bill.
Yours sincerely,
