How it actually works — and why it matters.
Six steps that explain how Parliament really works — and how we can fix it.
🏛️ Step 1 — The Authority of the Commons
All power flows from one place.
The House of Commons holds Parliamentary sovereignty — every rule, policy, and decision in the UK stems from it. Nothing stands above it.
👥 Step 2 — The Make-up of the Commons
650 towns. 650 voices. Equal votes.
Each MP represents one constituency. In Parliament, every MP’s vote counts equally — together, they are the government.
📜 Step 3 — How Decisions Are Made
Parliament acts by passing laws.
Each proposal begins as a bill. All 650 MPs vote; if the majority agree, it becomes law. Only 30–50 major votes happen each year — each one shapes the country.
🎭 Step 4 — Party Influence
Freedom exists — but only in theory.
MPs can vote freely, yet most obey their party’s instructions.
Why? Because we won’t vote for them if the party removes their badge.
🏷️ Step 5 — The Badge Problem
The badge decides who wins.
When we vote for the badge instead of the person, party leaders decide who can wear it — and therefore, who can win.
That’s how they control Parliament without ever needing to win our trust directly.
🌿 Step 6 — The Solution
Stop picking based on the badge.
Fuse direct and representative democracy.
Citizens vote on every bill locally. MPs and candidates record their own votes.
At election time, towns choose who best represents their collective results.
When enough people take part, corruption collapses — power returns to the people.
Making Parliament More of What It's Meant to Be
Parliament was designed to represent the people, with MPs acting as the voice of their constituents. Over time, however, this principle has been eroded by party politics and the practical challenges of modern governance. Our platform seeks to restore and enhance Parliament's original purpose. By...
Are MPs Really Free to Represent Us?
The ideal of an MP as a free agent, representing their constituents without bias or interference, is often far from reality. Party politics exerts a powerful influence, with party leaders dictating policy positions and enforcing discipline through incentives and penalties. As a result, MPs...
How Does the Wisdom of Crowds Apply to Politics?
Collective intelligence is a concept that has revolutionised fields ranging from science to business. Groups of individuals, when properly coordinated, often make better decisions than any one expert could on their own. This phenomenon, known as the 'wisdom of crowds,' is just as relevant to...
Why Representation Isn't About Expertise
A common argument for MPs acting independently is that they are better informed and more capable of making decisions than the general population. This assumes that MPs are experts across a broad range of subjects—from healthcare to education to foreign policy. The reality, however, is that MPs are...
The Philosophy of Representation: Why MPs Must Truly Represent the People
Representation lies at the heart of democracy. In a nation where direct participation from millions of citizens in decision-making is impractical, we entrust MPs with the responsibility of voicing our collective will. Yet, somewhere along the way, the essence of representation has been lost. MPs...
The Moral Obligation of Representation
When we elect an MP, we are not appointing a ruler but a representative. The difference is profound. Rulers act on their own authority, while representatives are entrusted to channel the voices of those who elected them. The very principle of democracy demands that MPs listen to and act in...
Party Coercion and the Loss of Independence
Even if MPs were ideal representatives, free from bias and self-interest, they are often constrained by party politics. In practice, MPs are frequently coerced into voting along party lines, even when doing so conflicts with the interests of their constituents. Party elites wield enormous...
Why MPs Are Not Experts
Another argument often put forward is that MPs are better equipped to make decisions because of their access to information and expertise. Yet, MPs are generalists, not specialists. They legislate on a wide range of issues—from healthcare to education to defence—without being experts in any one...
