For a vibrant, inclusive
DEMOCRACY
that puts power in the hands of the people
Get big money
OUT OF
our politics
We can't risk ending up like the US, where mega-donors have turned elections into billion-dollar battles.
A ban on annual donations over £5,000 would cut the influence of big donors on our politics and protect the interests of ordinary voters.
Replace our
BROKEN
voting system
Labour won one of the biggest Parliamentary majorities in history with the support of just 1 in 5 eligible voters.
This is a broken electoral system and it’s long overdue for change.
It's time for a fairer voting system that better reflects how people voted.
Devolve power
OUT OF
Westminster
There is a growing consensus that English governance is over-centralised, and that more-or-less radical devolution is required.
Power to the People?, a new report from Compass and Unlock Democracy, assesses five proposals that could provide inspiration and guidance for the government.
