Unlock Democracy Campaign

EDM number 86 in 2006-07, proposed by David Chaytor on 15/11/2006.

That this House notes the growing concern about the impact of low turnouts at national and municipal elections, the decreasing membership of political parties and the alienation of many younger citizens from the political process; believes that there is an urgent need for all political parties to renew their policies on democratic renewal; considers that further devolution and decentralisation of power, combined with greater use of different forms of grass roots democracy, will be essential to this process; and congratulates Charter 88 and the Politics Network on their decision further to integrate their work, under the banner of Unlock Democracy, to enable them to campaign jointly on these issues.

This motion has been signed by a total of 93 MPs, 3 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
