The UK election is just days away and comes at a time when trust and confidence in politics is at a record low. Such disenchantment, as reflected in the latest British Social Attitudes survey, is hardly unique to the UK; there’s a sense that many western democracies are struggling to function effectively amid converging global crises.
So, what needs to change to re-engage people and re-inspire trust? That’s the question we put to the Positive News community in the run up to the UK election – and rarely have we received so many responses. We read each one but, sadly, couldn’t include them all here. We hope the selected responses spark meaningful conversations as a new era beckons for UK politics.
