Johnson’s attempt to silence Parliament goes against the spirit of our democracy. It comes at a time when it is more important than ever that our elected representatives have the opportunity to hold the Government to account and make sure our voices are heard. (2/5)
Volt UK is part of a pan-European movement. We believe that democracy is strengthened when its citizens are empowered. (3/5)
We call for an inclusive, transparent political system, which encourages citizens to participate in democracy - not just in the UK but across our Continent and within the EU. (4/5)
Volt UK will be joining protestors on the streets over the next few days, and beyond. (5/5)
