Magna Carta Two

The postings on this site are: The Royal Prerogative; Date of Magna Carta; What Is Magna Carta; Charter 2015, The Clauses of Magna Carta; Knights of Gaia.

After 800 years it is time for a sequel to Magna Carta…and it would be rather nice if Charles III, King of England, were on hand to sign it into English Law at Runnymede at the Summer Solstice of 2015…800 years on. At the Radical Consultation in Swindon a draft of the sequel Magna Carta II will be prepared for endorsement at the Final Plenary Session on Saturday 9th September 2006 and a Declaration of Intent produced for the Monday Press Conference 'Nine Eleven - Five Years On' .

Magna Carta II will be a People’s Charter. Each of the sixty three (unnumbered) clauses of Magna Carta I will be posted to this weblog site with a few remarks about the context of the original clause and its relevance to a 21st Century setting.

Each posting will be open for comment and anybody from anywhere may do so. In this way an Open Online Conference about a Local Neighbourhood Charter will be convened for three months in June, July and August 2006 leading up to the Radical Consultation in September.

The job of the conference participants on 7-9 September will be to sift through the internet postings and other comments and learned papers that have come in...by post, email or by hand...and agree the wording...or perhaps several alternative form of words...for the charter that will be put before the Final Plenary of the Third Radical Consultation on the afternoon of Saturday 9th September 2006 for enthusiastic endorsement.
