This new report by SLF Council Member Jon Alexander and Director Dr Ian Kearns is rooted in new data commissioned from the polling company YouGov. The report is a follow up to Winning for Britain, picking up the challenge set in that report of identifying “a distinct, progressive, liberal alternative”. Citizens’ Britain, a country where every voice is heard, and where we work together to solve the problems we face, is that alternative.
The report:
- Redefines citizenship, rejecting the right-wing framing of it as a legal status held only by some, and instead claiming it as a “practice”: something we can all do
- Shares case studies, from local to national, of what citizen-led politics looks like as it emerges across the world
- Reveals new polling data suggesting that this new way of doing politics could be a winning agenda, capable of building an electoral majority
- Sets out the next steps in building a Citizens’ Britain
