Powering Up - be part of the campaign!
A vibrant, inclusive democracy that puts power in the hands of the people can unlock a brighter future for our country.
That’s why Compass and Unlock Democracy have joined forces to create the Powering Up project.
Our goal is to accelerate the UK’s creaking democracy into the 21st century
This is how we get started -
Change the culture of Westminster politics - tackle sleaze, cronyism, dishonesty, lobbying and dark money in our politics. Make sure the politicians play by the same rules as everyone else.
A proportional representation voting system - and a Parliament that is truly representative of the people.
Reform the House of Lords - with those setting our laws accountable to the people.
Devolve power - away from Westminster to all levels of government, giving local communities greater input into key decisions through Citizens’ Assemblies.
These reforms can transform how politics work and give us better governments that build a better society for everyone.
