Parties For The Public Good
Research conducted by Ipsos for the Young Foundation shows that the British public believe political parties have an important role to play in democracy.

At the same time, fewer than a quarter believe that parties are open and transparent, and the most popular approaches to making parties more appealing would be for them to involve people more in local decision making and for them to listen more to the public.
