Shift power to people and communities
Democratic ownership of the economy and devolved political power
We live in a time of rising inequality. We can all see money and power building up in the hands of just a few while the rest of us work harder and harder just to survive.
Worse still, people feel they have little control over their lives and are losing faith in our political institutions. There is an unmet thirst to deliver more meaningful devolution, particularly in England. We have an opportunity to show how devolving power can be transformative to our democracy and economy.
From fixing local government funding issues and investing in people and their communities to ensure places are not stripped of their wealth, to engaging people in real decision-making, we can demonstrate how giving economic and political power to local and regional areas can create thriving local economies and invigorate people’s participation in democracy.
We will promote and pursue ideas and actions that empower citizens, giving people more ownership of the economy and; helping communities thrive.
