The Democracy Trust

Opinion

The reasonable wishes of the democratic majority are still ignored by the political elite. The MP expenses/allowances scandal of 2009 demonstrates that the political system has degraded even further. The British electorate are still awaiting a political establishment they can be proud of. Political leadership for reform with selfless standards and compliance is yet to be demonstrated.

The ruling political establishment appear to have opted out of the framework of standards, ethics and professional service guidelines that the rest of society are judged against.

The people must drive a renewal process forward as politicians have failed. As stakeholders in British democracy our aim is to achieve a democracy of world class excellence, A democracy and political system trusted by the people, serving the will of the people and totally accountable to the people.
