Closed Hold an inquiry into Russian interference in UK democracy

Closed on

The UK government and Intelligence agencies must undertake an immediate public inquiry into Russian interference in democratic processes in the UK; including, but not limited to, the last general election and the 2016 Brexit Referendum.

Accusations of a foreign state influencing the outcome of elections and the Brexit referendum are, if proven, a fundamental threat to democracy in the UK. Failure to undertake a transparent inquiry will result in democratic processes and institutions being undermined. The inquiry should focus not only on the extend of prior interference but also on how to tackle this threat in the future.
