The project employed a proven enterprise idea-management system, augmenting the core platform with a light-touch, flexible pedagogy and third-party social curation tools. Over 14 weeks, our innovative design supported the formation of a community of some 1500 users, who delivered a written constitution derived from 700 ideas, 9000 comments and 25000 votes. The project engaged the community in a unique, open and social learning experiment while delivering tangible outputs. SNP Leader Nicola Sturgeon described the project as “…a fantastic example of an initiative which is timely, innovative and… which could have a lasting impact on public affairs.Contributor(s): Daniel Regan, Paul Sullivan, Professor Conor Gearty, Peter Bryant, Malte Werner, Chris Fryer, Darren Moon | In January 2015, the London School of Economics and Political Science launched an innovative civic engagement project which aimed to crowdsource a written constitution for the UK.

Instead it has laws, conventions, practices, activities scattered all over the place that constitutional lawyers gather together and describe as the UK constitution. In a unique project, LSE's Institute of Public Affairs (IPA) and Department of Law are coming together with the LSE Public Policy Group and LSE Democratic Audit to pioneer the crowdsourcing of a new UK constitution to ask members of the public to participate in, advise on and eventually to draft a new UK constitution. Join an expert panel to have your say on what should be included and to create this important new document. David Blunkett is a British Labour Party politician and the Member of Parliament for Sheffield Brightside and Hillsborough, having represented Sheffield Brightside from 1987 to 2010.
