Write law that a referendum is required for the UK to be able to leave the ECHR
The European Convention on Human Rights enshrines our basic human rights, gives us the right to a fair trial, right to privacy and helps protect us from things like torture, unlawful killing, slavery but also punishment without law and freedom of speech, assembly, religion, privacy and much more.

Referendum changing the UK from constitutional monarchy to a democratic republic
We think there should be a referendum on the future of the monarchy & the type of government they want to be part of. Stay as a constitutional monarchy or become a true & secular democratic republic. We think it's time we became a democratic republic, it's long overdue.
Create a UK Rights Charter to replace the EU Charter
Create a single, modern UK Rights Charter to replace the protections lost after leaving the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. Rights are currently scattered across different laws, and a unified charter would clearly set out the protections people can rely on today.
Referendum to rejoin the single market and customs union
Hold, at the earliest convenience, a national referendum on whether to rejoin the european single market and customs union so that we can undo ten years of receding growth.
Legislate a Democratic Exit Clause for All Nations of the United Kingdom
Legislate to create a democratic, peaceful withdrawal process for any UK nation from the Union. We believe that without a more clearly codified exit route, the Union could risk becoming involuntary. We think this could undermine democracy and breach the UK’s international obligations.
Require a referendum and 2 years' notice for any major constitutional changes
No government should be able to make major changes to constitutional structures without a referendum from the British people, including changes to elections or alterations to the powers or composition of Parliament. Proposed changes should have at least 2 years' notice to enable research & debate.
