Campaign Goals
Unlock Democracy's primary goal is setting in place of a democratic participative process resulting in a written constitution. That constitution should explicitly set out the separation of powers between the Executive, the Legislature and the Judiciary. It should also explicitly determine the divisions and limitations of powers between central and local government within the UK. The organisation's stated aims are:
To campaign:
- to ensure that the votes of all carry equal weight
- for transparency in public decision making
- to achieve legislative changes that modernise our governance
- to ensure that power is exercised as close to people as is practicable
- to empower individuals and their communities to have a greater say over the decisions that affect them
- for democratic accountability of all elected representatives, government and public bodies
To promote:
- a new culture of informed political interest and responsibility, paving the way for increased enthusiastic public participation
- a pluralist democracy that is responsive to the problems and aspirations of all people, valuing and accommodating difference and diversity
