The British constitution should be collected into a single written document that defines and regulates the powers of the British government, and the rights and duties of its citizens[^1].
The constitution will be created with broad participation from the citizenry, and approval and adoption shall be subject to a referendum.
The constitution could either be created by a citizens' panel, with approval and adoption subject to a referendum, or created as a "blank slate", with every addition done as an amendment by Parliament.

"done as an amendment by Parliament" should specifiy a super-majority required of (eg) 75%. Otherwise it's not really a constituitonal amendment if a simple majority (ie every majority government) can change it as easily as they can change a law. Otherwise I like it.
