The Audit of Political Engagement is the only annual health check
on our democratic system. Now in its ninth year, each Audit
measures the ‘political pulse’ of the nation, providing a unique
benchmark to gauge public opinion across Great Britain with
regard to the political system.
The second part of this year’s Audit focuses on public attitudes to politics and the media. The media claim to play a critical role in our democracy, shining a bright light on those in power on behalf of the public. But in the context of that place in our democracy, what role and responsibilities, if any, do they have in relation to
political engagement?
This report is an invaluable source of information and debate for all those who are concerned with the health of our democratic system
