Say one thing; do another. Hardly the highest standards in public office we were promised. Then: "because appointments are for life, the second chamber of Parliament has become too big." (2024 election manifesto) Now: create more new peers than the number of hereditary peers you are set to remove.

"What did the billionaire lining his pockets ask for in return?" At PMQs, Keir Starmer raised the obvious question about Farage’s £5m gift. But if big money buys influence, surely no party or politician should accept mega donations? Better yet, stop them at source: cap donations across the board.

A truly independent elections watchdog is important for giving voters confidence that our elections are free and fair. Having opposed the last government's policy of interference, it’s shameful that Labour is now committed to maintaining political control of the Electoral Commission.

Votes at 16 is a big step forward. The evidence from Scotland, where 16 and 17-year olds have had the vote since 2014, is that young people engage strongly with democracy and, when they start voting early, they keep on voting as they get older. That can only boost our democracy.

Trust is higher when power is exercised closer to people. That’s one reason why much more power should be shifted out of Westminster to the nations, regions and to local communities. Proximity to power shouldn’t just be reserved for the wealthy and well-connected.

"To not have a cap on donations risks much more than to have one." In yesterday’s evidence session on the Representation of the People Bill, Dr Sam Power argued for a cap on political donations, warning that without one, the very rich will continue to exert outsized influence on UK politics.

In the last decade, we've had: 6 Prime Ministers, potentially with the seventh just round the corner. 8 Chancellors. 9 Home Secretaries. 9 Foreign Secretaries. Yet Keir Starmer still has confidence in First Past the Post to deliver strong and stable government. He must be the only one.

“We do have to maintain a bedrock of freedom of speech and of peaceful protest... Otherwise, you don’t have democracy, you’ve locked it up.” Baroness Hale says it plainly. Yet just this week, MPs approved more draconian anti-protest measures. When dissent is suppressed, so is democracy itself.

🗨️"The thing about a democracy is the electoral system is supposed to deliver what the voters want." Instead, looking around councils in England we see some very warped outcomes. But it doesn't have to be this way. In Scotland & Wales, the results better reflect the balance of opinion among voters.

Now more than ever, we need to fight back to protect democracy in the UK. Please support us by backing our Crowdfunder today. www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/a-crucial-...
