Constitutional Amendment

The Britannian Kingdom recently took action to adapt our regional Constitution to meet the changing needs of our population. In Amendment II to the Second Constitution of Britannia, the Britannian Parliament sought to first modernise the constituencies which MPs are elected to represent. Currently set as Northumbria, Mercia, Caledonia, Hibernia, and London, future MPs will now have the opportunity to choose their own constituency, so long as it is an actual place in the IRL United Kingdom. Additionally, the Parliament sought to balance out the process for further amendments to the Constitution. This saw the standards moved from 5 votes in Parliament (which currently only consists of 5 votes total, meaning the requirement was effectively unanimity) and 2/3 of voters in a referendum, to now be set at 2/3 of Parliament, and a majority of voters in a referendum.

While Amendment II was originally defeated in the public referendum stage, the Britannian Parliament maintained its commitment to the benefits provided, and so underwent the amendment process again, this time with the amendment achieving approval by a landslide in the public referendum, and solidified into law with the approval of the Prince Regent. Now, Parliament has moved on to a review of a separate portion of the Constitution, in an effort to balance the powers of the Monarchy to be more compatible with those of the People.
