1/ Turn the HOC into a museum. Build a new HOP on a brownfield site in the midlands. Make it a circular chamber as in the EU so you get away from this "2 sword length" stupid confrontational fairground boxing ring. Introduce PR (without a bent ref) https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2020/jul/26/lindsay-hoyle-commons-may-never-return-to-packed-chamber-debates-says-speaker-coronavirus

2/ You don't need a ref on PR - there wasn't one on the abolition of hanging.
Once out of London you can also get rid of all the ridiculous rituals - Black Rod/Going to HMQ and such bollocks. Tradition is ok when it's music/dance and steam trains
3/ but when it masks the putrefication at the heart of our supposed democracy (the same public schools are running the country that ran it under Victoria) then it's time to change or die. And take no notice of Hoyle he's a shadow of Bercow and Betty Boothroyd.
