Opis

It is 800 years since Magna Carta, we have just witnessed a lively referendum on independence for Scotland and a General Election looms. Yet the electorate across the UK feel disempowered and disengaged from the small political elite who actually run the country, battered by big business that appear to ride rough shod over their aspirations. What could a new form of politics look like? Part One of the book draws on Paul Twivy's role as an unpaid adviser to the last three UK Prime Ministers and his experience in setting up successful social movements from Comic Relief to The Big Lunch. There has been a golden thread of good intentions from Blair's "Giving Age" through Brown's "Council on Social Action" to Cameron's "Big Society", all positing a new kind of relationship between citizens and politics. Yet the dream has never quite come to fruition. In Part Two, Twivy describes how politics needs to change; how we need to transform our out-dated views on charities and social entrepreneurs; how businesses need to go well beyond the platitudes of Corporate Social Responsibility and contribute to Society. In conclusion he suggests the idea for a People's Parliament, parallel to Parliament itself, in which we vote for 650 of the UK's best problem-solvers who match and shadow our 650 MP's. This book wants to kick start a debate on how individuals, politicians and business can make a difference again.
