Turnaround UK: Trusting and empowering UK citizens to create growth

PRE-ORDER - Available from 21st August 2025

Writing as an ‘an ordinary citizen’ as he describes himself, Robert Tyler presents his ideas for how this Government could better approach growth for the purpose of creating greater equality amongst the UK population. All his new policy ideas, and there are lots of them across a broad spectrum of Government departments in this lateral and innovative contribution to political policy and commentary, reflect that strategy.

He points out that the UK Government can only control and manage four things; defence, tax, immigration and their own behaviour. Everything else depends on the attitude and behaviour of citizens here and elsewhere in the world. That’s why he says mutual trust between citizens and government is crucial to success. That trust doesn’t exist at the moment, and those with most needs suffer the most in consequence. Tyler suggests how to heal the rupture and rebuild national confidence.

Tyler welcomes multiple views and varying personal interests as a way of obtaining better policies: ‘We need both a left and a right wing for the UK to fly’. His proposals include an immediate switch to a Proportional Representation voting system, claiming that would work for all political parties right now and is anyway what repeated polls suggest the public want.

This book is a must for those from every part of the political spectrum interested in a host of new policy ideas and a pragmatic approach to the reality of life today in the UK.
