The Citizens Council

government for the people, by the people

The mission

To empower citizens of the UK to directly determine government policy

We will replace elected members of parliament with The Citizens Council: a randomly selected, demographically representative and regularly changing group of citizens.

By doing this, we can

  • Develop policy aligned with the needs of the people of the UK

  • Reduce the corruptibility of political decision makers

  • Enable society to come together with compromise instead of fracturing over binary choices

  • Activate citizen engagement in politics and increase satisfaction with democracy

  • Make politics about policy and not personality
