about the jury team

The Jury Team is for everyone who cares about this country

VOTE FOR CHANGE OR STOP COMPLAINING

The Jury Team works together for the people that the politicians forgot. That is just about everyone in the country apart from the small and elite political class. We intend to 'open up and clean up' politics. We will give back to people their pride in their country and its institutions. We will let them become the ultimate jury.

You can support us in many ways. We are now looking for people to become candidates to become MPs at the general election expected in May. We will help good candidates to get elected. Step forward and make a difference or stop complaining:

When elected you will agree to help to pass legislation for the thirty Proposals on this website on the basis that these will not become binding until agreed by an authorising referendum of the electorate.
You will otherwise be free to use your best judgement in addressing other issues which come before Parliament. You will act in the interests of the country and of your constituents rather than as "lobby fodder" for the leadership of a traditional political party.

We know that people support the following policies but the existing parties have failed even to discuss most of them. We will champion these policies and press for democratic reform. We want to make these things happen:

STOP THE SLEAZE AND GET THE POLITICIANS YOU DESERVE

The Jury Team want the electorate to have the ultimate power as the jury for the country. Both Parliament and Government should be run for the benefit of the country and not for those who work at Westminster or in Whitehall.

We need to strengthen Parliament. The Jury Team wants to encourage more MPs with experience of the world outside the 'Westminster Village' into the House of Commons. We want MPs who will vote for their constituents and the country and not for their party or themselves. We shall pay MPs in line with established civil service procedures and limit them to three terms of five years. In order to make them accountable we shall pass the Elected Representatives (Prevention of Deception Bill) and set up an Independent Politicians Complaints Commission. We shall also cap donations to political parties, have Parliamentary Select Committees elected by all MPs, stop gold-plating of EU directives and have general elections every five years.

We also need to improve the way Government is run. The Prime Minister should be elected by the whole House of Commons, not by a secretive process within individual parties. Ministers should not be reshuffled so often. Government departments should be protected from the whims of politicians by being run by a Board. Government statistics should be produced independently.
