The key British value of democracy
Democracy is a key British value. However, in 2020 the YouGov Democracy Study
found that 70% of Britons thought democracy had weaknesses and that modern
British society could be more democratic.
The criticisms of democracy in modern Britain include the beliefs that:
• the public should be better informed about politics and government
• the public should have more say in political decision-making and government
• the media should provide reliable information to citizens
• the government should protect all citizens against poverty.
With reference to Source A, discuss two ways the British value of democracy could
be strengthened.
