Reforming the Commons

This report from UK think tank the Constitution Unit guides backbench MPs on how to achieve procedural change.

Reforming how the House of Commons operates can be difficult, and even daunting, for those MPs who want to change the system. However, such reform is achievable, and past campaigns have accomplished it in multiple areas.

This new guide helps backbench MPs, and others, to understand the key strategies, risks and opportunities to maximise their chances of success. From developing ideas, to building support, securing change and anticipating challenges, the guide emphasises what backbench MPs can achieve, illustrated with past successful examples.
