| The truth matters. Vital decisions made on our behalf require that the people in government are honest with the electorate. Vote for Honesty and Get Democracy Done seeks solutions to the increasing problem of dishonest behaviour by some UK politicians. It is an action plan to force political change. This book is solution-led, rather than problem-led. The Vote for Honesty Campaign for the next general election is politically neutral. Voters simply have to 'Lend their Vote in 2024' and only vote for a candidate that has signed the Vote for Honesty Contract. This is much stronger than a manifesto pledge as any candidate would have a contractual penalty imposed if elected and then not vote for the Honesty Bill. 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. |

"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 | ||||
|
"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." -- Dr David Ellicott Ret'd | ||||
|
"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." -- Dr Mark Weinstein Senior Lecturer, Ret'd | ||||
