At one of the sessions at The Convention On Modern Liberty, Helena Kennedy proposed coming up with a list of pledges that could be used at the general election to show where prospective MPs stood on civil liberties and political reform.

That initial idea is now bearing fruit with a campaign called POWER2010, chaired by Kennedy and funded by the Joseph Rowntree Reform Trust. The campaign is seeking ideas from the general public for reforms to the UK political system, with the five most popular becoming the POWER2010 pledge.

You have until 5th November to submit your ideas - Citizen K will certainly be doing so - so get typing, fellow citizens.
