Milestones

Introduce a national system which requires all eligible British citizens to vote in UK elections. We believe this could ensure full participation, fair representation, and a stronger, more accountable democracy across the UK.

Many people in the UK have lost faith and trust in our democracy. We believe introducing this could reduce animosity, increase social cohesion and trust, ensure fairer representation regarding policymaking, and increase political legitimacy and mandates. It could also reduce frustration amongst people who many feel they do not have a say in politics.
