The House of the People

In July 2025 the House of the People debuted as a parallel Parliament. An accurate snapshot of the public met for three days: 50 people nominated by their communities and 50 people selected by democratic lottery. They heard the concerns and hopes of local people, learned about the science from experts and set out a new course for the UK to take.

As part of our circular economy approach to solution providing, known as the box library, U-Build was asked to help supply part of the aesthetic using our stage box system. 

Assemblies are big neighbourhood meetups where people talk about what needs to change, and agree to do something about it. They’re a tool to solve thorny issues where politicians stumble. Each local Assembly shares food, drink and laughs while writing down 5 key issues they agree on. Call this a ‘Community Charter’ — something to take action on and pass up to the House of the People.

Democracy is the pride of Britain, but it’s out of date. That’s why ordinary citizens are building the House of the People.

It’s a new national voice to decide what people in the UK really want, not just those at the top.

Anyone in the UK can take part. It’s free and open to the public. It belongs to everyone and is funded by your donations. It will listen to science and hear from people from all walks of life.
