David Cameron has outlined new Conservative plans for real change in politics.
Speaking today, he said that following the expenses scandal "people are so downhearted, so disparaged, so cynical, so apathetic about our politics".
"They want to be back in control and they want change in our politics", he said.
He presented nine big ideas for real change in politics:
1. No more unelected Prime Ministers
2. Opening up democracy: More postal primaries
3. Expanding the Freedom of Information Act
4. Neighbourhood budgets: giving neighbourhoods direct funding
5. Public drafting: "Crowdsourcing" the drafting of government legislation
6. Opening up parliament: a Public Reading Day
7. Protecting whistleblowers: Strengthening protection on government waste and misuses of public money
8. A new right to data: Right to Data Act
9. Strengthening Select Committees
These ideas will give more people a real say in how their politics are run. I am please to support these proposals.
