Unlock Democracy

Who we are

Unlock Democracy campaigns for a vibrant and inclusive democracy that puts power in the hands of the people. We believe that the UK needs a modern democracy that is fit to deal with the serious challenges facing society today - whether that is domestic issues like the housing crisis, homelessness, stagnant wages, collapsing high streets and  - or existential threats like the climate crisis.

Right now most people don’t think politics works for them. Decisions are too often made for people and communities, not with them. At every election we replace politicians, but the old way of doing things stays the same. To fix politics we need a democratic revolution, and Unlock Democracy’s main focus at the moment on our New Politics Rules campaign is aiming to kick-start that revolution.
