Democracy experts have called on the government to rethink plans to scrap virtual Parliament proceedings at the end of this month.

The House of Commons authorities have agreed plans to move to a ‘virtual Parliament’ if necessary after the recess.

A new report suggests that Britain’s system of democracy is responsible for increasing polarisation, forcing citizens into opposing tribes and making voters less likely to accept the mandate of rival political parties.

The petition follows Nicky Morgan keeping a cabinet post by being appointed a Baroness – despite ‘standing down’ from Parliament.
