9781910461648: Vote for Honesty and Get Democracy Done

Synopsis

The truth matters. Democracy requires honesty in governance. It’s better for our economy, our social values, our institutions, ourselves as individuals and ultimately the functioning of our democracy itself. This succinct and well researched guide offers a solution to the increasing problem of dishonest behaviour by some UK politicians. The book suggests devising a Vote for Honesty Campaign with cross-party support for the 2024 General Election, and then using public pressure to enforce political honesty through legal compliance. Voters simply have to ‘lend their vote’ and only vote for a candidate that has signed the Vote for Honesty Contract. Positive change is possible. A simple solution to a complex problem.

À propos de l'auteur

Ann Whitehead originally studied law. In her early career she worked in environmental management, later switching careers to the wellbeing industry. One of the reasons for changing direction being her frustration with producing recommendations that were not actioned, with the lower standard of ‘legal compliance’ often the preferred choice of the client, rather than the higher standard of ‘best practice’. Passionate about politics she has campaigned on various subjects close to her heart. This made her realise how much misinformation voters are deliberately exposed to. An optimist by nature, Ann hopes this book can contribute to a healthier political landscape.
