Democracy

The UK is a democracy influenced by wealth and distorted by the voting system. A billionaire can outdonate a worker by millions. A party can win 30% of the votes and 60% of the seats. The media isn't transparent. The policies to fix this include:

​

• Adopt a listless AMS proportional representation electoral system. Every voter receives one vote to vote for a candidate who represents a party or no party. Everyone who wins their constituency gets to be an MP. Afterwards, calculations are used on the national scale to determine proportional seat allocation (Sainte-Laguë method) and best losers from each party are added to parliament as needed.

​

• Ban private political donations (direct and in kind) and implement a publicly funded allowance of £4 per voter per year (£1 every quarter/3 months) to allocate to registered parties of their choice (or independent candidates).

​

• Parties are not allowed to make expenditures that are permanent (i.e. acquiring property). All expenditures must be temporary.

​

• Make MPs recallable at any time if a certain threshold of the electorate votes to recall them.

​

• Mandate ownership and controlling interest transparency for media outlets. Mandate registered interest disclosure for editors.
