The Magna Carta 2025 Act A Modern People's Charter for Broken Britain.

Preamble: We, the united people of Broken Britain, rise not in rebellion—but in remembrance. In 1215, our ancestors compelled the crown to kneel before the law. In 2025, we compel our Parliament, our monarch, and our institutions to do the same.

This Act is our declaration. Our peaceful revolt. Our written will.

The Magna Carta 2025 Act is a modern adaptation of the principles set forth in the Magna Carta of 1215—restating that no person, monarch, or government shall be above the law, and that power must always be accountable to the people it serves.

CLAUSES OF THE PEOPLE'S CHARTER:

1. Equality Before the Law: No individual, including the monarch, shall be above the law. All legal immunities must be abolished, including for members of the royal family, government ministers, and police.

2. Elected Local Leadership: Local councils shall be granted constitutional authority, with directly elected mayors having power over local services, policing priorities, budgets, and housing.

3. Free Speech Protection: All citizens shall retain the right to free speech, including criticism of government, monarchy, religion, or ideology, without threat of prosecution unless inciting violence.

4. Digital and Personal Privacy: Citizens must be protected from unlawful surveillance. No data collection shall occur without informed consent or due process.

5. Transparency of Power: All government contracts, lobbying activity, and parliamentary votes must be publicly disclosed and available in a clear, searchable format.

6. Abolition of Royal Prerogatives: The monarchy shall no longer exercise any executive power. Ceremonial roles may continue, but all royal privilege in politics, military, and legal matters shall end.

7. Universal Right to Protest: Peaceful protest shall be an inalienable right, and no government shall restrict lawful assembly without judicial oversight.

8. Whistleblower Protection: Individuals exposing corruption, negligence, or abuses of power shall be protected by law from retaliation.

9. End to Emergency Power Abuse: No state of emergency may override constitutional rights unless voted on by a supermajority in Parliament with a fixed time limit and public review.

10. Right to Referendum: Citizens may call a national referendum on key legislative matters upon gathering 1 million verified signatures.

11. Fair Trial Guarantee: Every citizen shall have access to legal representation and a fair, timely trial—regardless of wealth or status.

12. Government Accountability: An independent, elected body of citizen-auditors shall oversee MPs’ expenses, donations, misconduct investigations, and breaches of public trust.

13. Protection of Journalistic Freedom: Journalists shall be free to report on government, royal, and corporate matters without fear of censorship, seizure, or imprisonment.

14. Right to Shelter and Dignity: Access to safe housing, food, and healthcare shall be a legal right. Homelessness in a wealthy nation is a violation of human dignity.

15. Restoration of the Commons: Public spaces, natural resources, and infrastructure shall not be sold or privatised without public referendum and community consent.

Ratification Clause: Once this petition receives 100,000 signatures, we demand it be read, debated, and recognised in Parliament as the foundation for a new social contract between people and power.

We are not subjects. We are citizens. And we demand a future built on justice, dignity, and truth.
