Report: UK Democracy Under Strain

A new report commissioned by democratic pressure groups, Unlock Democracy and Compass, sounds the alarm about a long-term decline of UK democracy, exposing a systematic decoupling of people and power.

Focusing on the period from 2019, the report identifies a host of new challenges to the UK’s democratic resilience, including the holders of elected office breaching codes of conduct, democratic norms, and sometimes the law, itself.

This is an independent report commissioned by Unlock Democracy and funded by the Joseph Rowntree Reform Trust.'
