Citizens' Britain: A Radical Agenda for the 2020s

December 2020

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.

About this report

This report sets out a distinct, progressive, liberal alternative rooted in active citizenship and shared problem-solving. It is based on new YouGov-commissioned data and argues for a different way of doing politics in Britain.

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.
