The Spin
Establishment-critical narrative
Trust in the UK political system is at an all-time low, and there is an urgent need for greater citizen involvement within the heart of Westminster. Rebuilding political relationships to be inclusive of people from all walks of life and works in the 21st century must occur, or public office will continue to not represent the people and merely defend the status quo.
Pro-establishment narrative
There is a beauty within the Westminster system that's not often seen in other forms of national politics. Ministers keep their role based on a relationship of trust and are expelled from office if the country is not satisfied with their performance. While often criticized, the very allowance of public criticism must be recognized as in itself a product of a thriving democracy.
