Since being elected in May, the Conservative government has made a raft of incoherent, reactive, stop gap measures on our democratic future which are endangering the Union. These important changes are being made behind closed doors without proper consultation from parliamentarians, let alone the electorate.

There is no denying that there is currently a crisis in our democracy and in the Union. Public satisfaction is low, legitimacy has to be restored.
