Deliberative?
1. A comprehensive written constitution would allow the Courts to exercise their role of keeping Parliament honest and remove the necessity for the Upper House. How do you propose getting MPs to agree to limit their power by agreeing to be bound by a constitution - they wouldn't even agree to make the Bill of Rights any more than advisory? 2. Did you consider that the main impediment to democracy might be political parties? 3. You seem to be making TOP into a replica of all the current problems: why is deliberative democracy only being permitted on the minor topics and not on the TOP7?
