Create independent commission to manage ideas on public body spending cuts — 9 signatures. Status: open.
We urge the government to establish an independent Public Consultation Commission to host a national portal for UK citizens to submit, debate and vote on proposals to cut public spending and eliminate waste. The Treasury should be legally required to respond to the top-rated ideas.
Our country has talent and knowledge. We believe that by bringing ideas together, we can identify waste, suggest practical savings, and help reduce public spending. In our view taxpayers often spot inefficiencies in councils, public services and national infrastructure, yet lack a direct way to share cost-saving ideas with government. We therefore call for the creation of a national platform which could harness public knowledge, encourage fiscal responsibility and help uncover waste, potentially saving billions in public funds.
