As an outsider to U.K. politics now having moved to Australia in 2007, it seems to me that U.K. politics needs a total root and branch ground up reform. All states and territories as well as Federally, we have ICACs - Independent commissions at against corruption in politics. You need that desperately. Off the top of my head, I’d think about… - An independent commission against corruption with powers to refer for criminal prosecution - Fixed term 4 year parliaments - Maximum term limit of 2 terms for the Prime Minister or a cabinet minister - Maximum term limit of 20 years in Parliament or age 75 - Universal enfranchisement aka compulsory voting - A permanent ban on standing for office if fails a criminal record background check akin to a Working with a Children background check - MMP electoral system for lower house - Elected upper chamber using STV with restoration of blocking rights for lower house bills - Upper chamber constitutes a chamber of the nations so that England cannot force laws on the other three home nations (so either a majority of members from 3 out of 4 home nations must vote for a bill for it to pass or have the make up such that the combined members of Scotland, Wales and NI out number that of England).

Trust has been lost in today's Tories. They have squandered people's trust.

[@davehopkin9502]

Absolutely the trouble is the constant Tory "what about-ism" has tainted all Politicians and eroded trust across the board
