This essay is a contribution to the debate about the Left’s future. It argues that the circumstances that have sustained Labour for so long are evaporating and that the Government requires radical renewal to win a fourth term.

Michael Wills argues that, as a starting point for this process, a programme of reform needs to be developed driven not by the political class seen as responsible for undermining faith in our constitutional arrangements but by the people who are served by such arrangements.

He suggests the time may be coming for an elected, one-off, fixed term constitutional convention to heal the fractures in our politics.
