The Effective Governance Forum

A cross party campaign

to improve public services,
to increase productivity, to reduce costs by £ billions
to increase voter control at a local level.

The mechanics of the UK government are not working

  • The UK is one of the most centralised democratic countries in the world.

  • Most public services are poor quality, hugely expensive and some are at breaking point. 

  • Voters know this.

    • 58% believe “The management of public services (e.g. schools, hospitals) does not improve regardless of which party is in power. 

    • 63% believe that “taxpayers do NOT get good value for money from the public services – health, education, policing and so on – paid for by their taxes”

  • The blame lies with the UK’s current system of government, which has given politicians and civil servants impossible jobs.
