Defending, strengthening and renewing democracy
Campaigning to make democracy work for everyone
If you want politics to work for ordinary people, you're in the right place.
Our mission is clear
We're building a movement to fix what's broken in British Democracy.
Not just talking about it. Doing it. Across five fronts, with growing public support and real parliamentary reach.
Trump-style politics is infecting our democracy. We’re working to stop that.
Millions of votes are wasted every election. We're working to replace First Past the Post so your vote always has impact.
Politicians work for you - not the other way around. We help you understand your democratic power and give you the tools to use it effectively.
Secret cash is buying influence in British democracy. We're making it harder for the wealthy and well-connected to usurp the will of the people.
Disinformation is poisoning our politics. We’re working towards a political system that runs on truth again.

Open Britain’s new report is a plain-English guide to who pays for British politics, what the law allows and the decision Parliament still has to make.

But what is a National Commission on Electoral Reform. Open Britain's new report is a plain English guide to what that commission is, how it would work, and why the Government’s own argument for waiting is the best argument for starting now.
