What this is
Other platforms let you vote on bills. Track donations. Compare politicians. Common Ground UK does something different.
Every vote you cast here is set directly against how Parliament voted on the same question. The difference between the two. The Accountability Gap is published permanently. Timestamped. Sourced to the exact Hansard record.
It cannot be amended. It cannot be deleted. It cannot be buried. It is the public record. And it belongs to you.
“Once published, the Accountability Gap cannot be amended. It carries the date, the division number, and the Hansard reference. Those elected to serve you cannot dispute it, spin it, or make it go away.”
How your vote works
Before you vote on any question, you can read the Commons Brief: a plain English summary of exactly what the question involves, what it would cost, what law governs it, and the honest case for and against. Written to be understood by anyone. Reviewed before publication. Sourced from public bodies, not from us.
Then you vote. Five options. No fence-sitting required, but No Strong View is always available and always honest.
Once 100 people have voted and 48 hours have passed, the result is final. The gap is calculated. The record is set.
The People's Manifesto
As questions pass through the platform's seven stages, the answers build into something bigger. A living document. Costed. Legally mapped. Built entirely from what the British public actually voted for, question by question, over time.
Before every general election, the People's Manifesto is formally submitted to every political party in Britain. Not as a demand. As a record of what the people asked for, and evidence of whether anyone listened.
Nothing in it is written by this platform. Everything in it was decided by you.
Read the Manifesto →Every Wednesday at 12:00
Did the Prime Minister actually answer the question? Did the Opposition ask the right one? You grade both. We publish the results.
Every week, the platform writes formally to the PM's office and the Leader of the Opposition with the public's verdict. Every letter sent is published here. Every reply received is published here. In full.
Why you can trust this
Every question passes four integrity tests before it is published: is it grounded in a real parliamentary event, is it costed, is it legally accurate, and could it be misused? Questions that fail are not published.
We do not tell you what to think. We do not tell you how to vote. We publish what the public decided, and hold those elected to serve them to account for the difference.
Where the public speaks.
And parliament listens.
"Elected to serve. Accountable to you."
