Don't duck the issue - Open-Up UK politics now - WARNING - contains duck humour

“We have an opportunity to close the gap between government and governed, politicians and people.”
- Martin Bell

OpenUp say;

It's time to Open Up politics. Respect for the UK's political system continues to plummet at a time when we need great government and a strong democracy more than ever.

But together we can do something about it. This is what Open Up is about. We want an honest, effective and modern democracy.

We want a government of the best possible people, who truly represent us. It's not just about expenses. It's about reforming our political system.

The way Parliament is run and government does business must change - and getting the best possible people into office is the starting point. That's why we want the people, not the politicians, to select who stands for election.

That's why we want Open Primaries in every constituency, where the people select their own candidates, and where anyone can put themselves forward to be a candidate.

We want this before the next General Election. And this is what Open Up is calling on every political party to do.
