The National Strategy Project offers a new approach — with our people, for our people
We're building a new way to help everyone in the UK think, decide and act together for the long term.
This means- Bringing people together for informed discussions about really tough issues
- Turning what people say into a clear, shared, achievable vision for the UK's long-term future
- Building a public delivery body to help us stick to our shared goals
If we succeed, by the next election all political parties will know what the nation expects of them and voters will be able to make a more informed choice.
What now?
We have a robust design for UK-wide, informed dialogue and ambitious plans for the next three years and beyond.
- Find out what people care about most - through informed dialogue
- Assemble the evidence we need to discuss each issue in an informed way
- Get people across the UK involved, through a public–facing "one wish for the future" campaign
- Establish our team and continue to build our network of champions and supporters
- Run deliberative dialogue on how to identify 8-10 shared goals for society, and the choices and trade-offs they'll require
- Create the national strategy, setting out what changes are needed to achieve our goals
- Build a system to show the progress of successive governments against our goals
Ongoing - we'll keep returning to our approach of dialogue, strategy and action, with a permanent national democratic capability we can use again and again.
We'll only succeed if we involve everyone.
Modern technology lets us open the conversation to millions of people - so everyone can take part.
We want to involve people from every part of our country and society, and reach out to communities ignored by traditional politics.
We'll transparently reflect what the nation chooses following informed deliberation, regardless of any personal opinions.
We're not political, we don't take sides, and we don't let donors or activists influence our work.
We'll earn trust by setting out what we're going to do clearly and being transparent about what that involves - then doing it.
