This is the second in a series of reports that share what we heard from the 65 MPs who participated in our exit interview project. Our next publication will pick up from the MPs’ initial weeks in Parliament, and expand on how they focused their time and energy in office. Additional reports will explore the relationship between MPs and civil society, both directly through their interactions with
constituents, citizens’ associations and lobby groups, and indirectly through the media. Finally, we will share how the MPs describe their highs and lows, and the advice they have for strengthening our democracy.
