The Daily Telegraph in association with Direct Democracy has begun a six-week series seeking the public’s view on how to quite literally return power to the people. A series of papers – The Localist Papers, will propose ideas covering various areas of our lives such as health, education, local and open government.

In an era where the public have become increasingly removed from the political process and frustrated by their lack of say on the decisions which affect their lives, calling for local action on local issues is a much needed step forward in bringing back political accountability and ultimately power to the people.
