      What about a new article in the constitution?

      I guess most will find this completely overkill but access to free information should be a right everybody has and no party should be able to remove that.

      I understand amending the constitution of any country should be done very carefully but keeping century old constitutions is completely dumb imo. Some articles are still relevant today others are not or would seriously benefit in being updated.
