The UK has no constitution written down in one document. Instead, it has laws, conventions, practices, and activities scattered all over the place that constitutional lawyers gather together and describe as the UK constitution.

In a unique project, LSE's IPA and Department of Law are coming together with the LSE Public Policy Group and Democratic Audit to pioneer the crowdsourcing of a new UK constitution, asking members of the public to participate in, advise on, and eventually to draft a new UK constitution.
