Dysfunctional Politics (2)

I didn’t say much in Thursday’s post about the break down of politics in the UK. But the problem is there too.

Each year the Hansard Society publishes the result of a survey – and a detailed analysis – about public engagement. I have almost the complete series at home. The latest one is the most disturbing one of the series. It raises a number of questions about the level of interest and faith that people have in the functioning of British democracy. I would encourage you to download the report – and reflect upon what needs to be done.
