It’s time to make our democracy fair for everyone. 

Sign the open letter calling on our elected representatives to work together to get big money out of our political system and put people and planet back in.

Open letter

To our elected representatives,

We call on you to work together to get big money out of our political system and put people back in.

This means:

  • Banning large donations to political parties and candidates.
  • Increasing the transparency of political donations, including real time reporting of donations. 
  • Limiting expenditure at election times so corporations can’t use their oversized  wallets to drown out our voices.
  • Creating an independent watchdog to investigate and stamp out corruption.
  • Stronger lobbying regulation and greater transparency so we know who’s meeting with our elected representatives and why.

We could all be living much better lives with wise and honest politicians who lead with integrity and not for personal gain.

For democracy to work well the people, not corporations money, must decide who is in Government and have the policies and projects the people want. In the current system the rich are more equal than the rest.

Can we really call ourselves a democracy if our government cannot be held accountable to anyone?

Big pharma, big mining etc etc should not be underhandedly influencing our future. Everybody should have equal say especially as we are in a climate crisis. We deserve full transparency in our governance processes and a true democracy now!

Democratic response is needed from everyone now to protect our country which is falling apart because of polluting big businesses.
I want a democracy that actually does what the people want- not big business
Take the dirty money out of the equation and protect our environment
