Slightly premature I know but when we finally achieve a Brexit split from the EU it would be a good idea to do a 'drains up' assessment on what lessons we have learned throughout the Brexit exercise and what changes need to happen in our Government or Parliamentry processes in order to clear up the anomallies we found.
The following list (I like lists as you may have gathered) is my first stab which I shall update when others have hopefully provided feedback and suggestions. It is not in any specific order of importance either yet :-

- When MPs resign or are sacked from their party they MUST be replaced by that party immediately and not allowed to go Independent or change parties mid-term
- Politics and decision making needs to become less centred in London and more distributed around the country
- England should have its own national assembly like the other UK countries
- A written constitution must be constructed and approved by the people defining how the MPs, Peers,Monarch and the Judiciary shall interact and which has final sovereignty
- Members of the House of Lords must be replaced by elected peers in future
- The role of Speaker must be defined in writing to emphasise the need for impartiality and clear duties and rules for them to be followed by the incumbent
- UK Parliaments both central and devolved must have the fundamental goal of being co-operative rather than confrontational
- Proportional representation must replace our first past the post system to better reflect the views of the people even if that means more coalitions
- People no longer want to be led by Parliament but want to direct it more. For example by more referendum and/or decision making using IT applications
