Every day, decisions made in Parliament directly shape the lives of people across the UK. We need the Mother of Parliaments to exemplify leadership integrity and trust. We need a blueprint that will encourage diversity and better represent the people they serve.
Our recent report jointly with 50:50 Parliament shows us the change we still need from Westminster with some MPs themselves describing an outdated workplace culture in need of reform. For some, this hostile environment leads to family strain, mental health challenges, and even decisions to step away from public service.
In order for Parliament to tackle the crises facing our nation—like poverty, climate change, and inequality—we need it to be in the best shape possible to serve.
Insults and point-scoring might grab headlines, but divisive rhetoric drives people away from politics and plays a part in eroding public trust. Compassion in Politics is campaigning for practical reforms, including evolving Prime Minister’s Questions into a more constructive format and introducing a new Code of Conduct. This would prioritise collaboration over conflict and help to rebuild confidence in our democratic processes.
Your voice can help transform Parliament into the modern, inclusive, and effective institution our country deserves. Join us in calling for a politics we can all respect—one where debate is about ideas, not insults. Together, we can create an atmosphere that attracts talented leaders from all backgrounds and builds a better future for everyone.
