The English Constitutional Convention is a pressure group lobbying for a devolved English Parliament.
The English Constitutional Convention aims to bring about the same constitutional changes achieved by the Scottish Constitutional Convention which ultimately secured a devolved Parliament and Executive for Scotland. However, the English Constitutional Convention faces a far greater challenge, despite devolution already having been implemented everywhere else in the UK, as English devolution is officially opposed by all the main British political parties.
