The English Claim of Right (sounds a mite familiar...)

Andrew Constantine · The English Claim of Right (sounds a mite familiar...)

I know everybody wants others to look at their pet website, but I really recommend that you check out the brand new "The English Claim of Right" site.
You will see that we have lifted the wording of "The Scottish Claim of Right" to create its equivalent for England. I had the honour of once meeting Canon Kenyon Wright and he made a great and very favourable impression on me. So the work of the Scottish Constitutional Convention was an obvious source of inspiration for us.

The big question is just how influential this "The English Claim of Right" is going to be. I cannot foretell the future (or I would be out buying the winning lottery ticket numbers for next week's draw) but I think it will depend on two factors:

1. How many citizens get behind the Claim and sign it. If it's only a few thousand, it will have failed. At present, with almost no media attention, and having only started today, it is getting signed at the rate of about one signature per minute.

2. If the political classes sitting for English constituencies sign the Claim, and change their behaviours accordingly, then this will be very significant.

The other co-founder of the site and Claim (Marcus Stafford) is an IT professional and it is he who has made the words on the website come alive. But close colleagues in my party, like Richard Aitkins, gave us real help.

Hope you enjoy the site:
