It is about Parliamentary power, responsibility, and the need to make government visible to the people it serves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten from lived experience rather than party politics, it asks a simple question: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhy should the people be kept in the dark about political decisions made in their name?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCARE stands for Constitution, Accountability, Responsibility and Ethics. It sets out a constitutional framework in which Parliament becomes a true debating centre, public office becomes a visible duty of service, and political power can no longer disappear behind party whips, hidden pressure, and layers of fog.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book explores independent representation, open recorded votes, the replacement of the House of Lords with a Constitutional Observatory, the Centre of Transparency, the National Digital Gazette, education, taxation, housing, immigration, defence, justice, and democratic participation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt its heart is the belief that transparency is not an optional extra.
