The State of Democracy

on BBC Two England

Presented by Jonathan Dimbleby. The climax of a week of programmes is a national debate on reform of the British constitution.
John Biffin , David Owen , Robin Cook , Tony Benn ,
Lord Beloff and John Hume are among 12 senior parliamentarians who consider afresh proposals for radical change.
If our individual liberties need more protection, and if people want a greater democratic say, then parliament may no longer be the answer. Anthony Lester , QC, puts the case for a Bill of Rights. Sara Parkin of the Green Party argues for proportional representation, the Rev Canon Kenyon Wright wants a Scottish Assembly and Giorgio La Malfa, MEP, leader of the Italian Republican Party, believes Europe must become more democratic.
