The truth matters.


As our elected representatives make vital decisions on our behalf, an essential requirement of a functioning democracy is that the people in governance are honest with the electorate. Vote for Honesty and Get Democracy Done: Four Simple Steps to Change Politics seeks solutions to the increasing problem of dishonest behaviour by some UK politicians. It is an action plan: simple and politically neutral to force political change. 


This book is solution-led. We can make a Vote for Honesty Campaign to generate cross-party support for the 2024 General Election, and also use public pressure to enforce political honesty through legal compliance. Voters simply have to 'lend their vote' and only vote for a candidate that has signed the Vote for Honesty Contract.


Positive change is possible. A simple solution to a complex problem. 


Key points:

â¢Politics in the future can be different, better and more relevant to people

â¢Improved transparency in politics saves money

â¢The Vote for Honesty Campaign is politically neutral 

â¢Participating candidates have signed a Vote for Honesty Contract

â¢A climate of trust deepens our democracy and also makes society more productive


Positive change is possible. A simple solution to a complex problem. 


This upbeat and pragmatic book suggests UK politics in the future can be better. Honest politicians will feel the benefit and feel good about their profession. A climate of trust and a deepening of democracy will make our society more efficient and effective, open and productive. 

 


Industry Reviews

"Nourishing food for thought for the honest politicians and millions of good democrats of all parties who first need to be honest."

Graham Allen, Former MP and Chair of the Select Committee on Political and Constitutional Reform

 

"Ann and I tend not to agree with each other on much politically, yet I believe that the Vote for Honesty Campaign is essential if we are to maintain a healthy democracy."

Jonathan Straight, entrepreneur and photographer

 

"A must read for anyone who cares about honesty in politics."

Dr Charlotte Clare

Consultant in Palliative Medicine



A succinct single proposal for shaking up and improving politics in Britain. Likely to interest pretty much anyone engaged in politics - and maybe give hope, and an avenue for action, to those who've previously been put off.

Ed Carlisle

Green Party Counsellor

 

"This book provides a road map to a better way forward. Inspired

in part by the democratic debacle that was the handling on the

Brexit vote. It is even more timely now after continued political

dysfunction and upheaval."

Mark Jenkinson

Lawyer

 

"Alongside climate change, this book addresses one of the biggest

challenges of our times."

Gareth Morton

Discovery Manager Ecosurety

 

"This book is so relevant and demands to be read. It offers

practical steps to restore trust in politics as well as summarising

relevant proposals by honest politicians who want to be taken

seriously and engage with their electorate."

David Ellicott

Senior Lecturer, Re't

 

"The integrity of key political institutions is now at a historical

low in the UK. Given that this is the case, I welcome Ann

Whitehead's Vote for Honesty and Get Democracy Done as an

important contribution to the debate on restoring trust between

politicians and the citizens who they are elected to serve."

Mark Weinstein

Senior Lecturer, Re't
