Background

We want the Government to introduce a system that allows UK taxpayers to vote on how a set proportion of public spending is allocated each year. This would increase transparency, improve trust in public spending, and ensure that taxpayers feel their contributions are funding services they want.

Additional details

I believe taxpayers should have more influence over how their money is spent. A participatory budgeting system would give people a direct voice in setting national priorities, make spending decisions more transparent, and help rebuild trust between the public and government
