"MPs must be obliged to obey their constituents" is not a demand that can be raised in a community which for centuries has cherished the ideal of the "freeborn Englishman". At least I hope it cannot.

"Only a system where Government policies reflect the aggregated priorities of the citizens - where all citizens can tell the Government what to do – can claim to be a democracy fit for the 21st century."

I agree.

There is no such democracy under the present Political Party/Establishment Media set up; we have ended up with a fraud where MPs do not have to consider the views of their constituents. There is real outrage building up against this situation.

I therefore strongly agree with you that there should be a move from the present "centralised representative democracy" to a "decentralised democracy".

There must be a fundamental and permanent transfer of real power from the British Ruling Elite to individual British Citizens.

There must be a complete change.

Use of referendums as in the Swiss constitution although very desirable would not be a complete answer for this country, as the poison of the UK Political Party system goes too deep.

In my view the only way to achieve this is to abolish the UK Political Party system altogether and make all MPs independent but contractually required to fulfil "Delegated Duties" (as defined) to their constituents. Constituents would be legally entitled to remove their MP directly if they failed to perform their "Delegated Duties". This is Direct Democracy.

MPs must be required to obey their constituents.

This transfer of real power to individual British Citizens would arguably constitute the most significant constitutional reform since the Civil War in the 17th Century. And the time for it is now.

I explain these proposals in greater detail in the following article:
