UK Democracy ‘In Retreat’ Despite Ousting of Boris Johnson, New Report Finds

Britain’s democratic institutions are under huge strain and the problem is getting worse amid repeated “assaults” on the integrity of elections, citizens’ political rights, and lying in politics, according to a new report.

Only one in three people trust Parliament to act in the best interest of people in the UK as things stand.
