Which UK political institution do you trust most to act in the public interest?
Trust in British institutions has been tested repeatedly in recent years. We want to know which ones still command your confidence when it really matters.
Put the items in your preferred order.
A
The Monarchy
Symbolic, non-partisan and steeped in tradition. Supporters argue it provides stability above the political fray.
B
The House of Commons
The democratically elected chamber where laws are debated and governments are held to account. Its reputation rises and falls with its occupants.
C
The House of Lords
Often criticised for being unelected, yet praised by some for expertise and scrutiny of rushed legislation.
D
The Supreme Court
Established in 2009, it has ruled on major constitutional questions including prorogation. A check on executive overreach.
E
The BBC
Funded by the licence fee and expected to hold power to account. Regularly accused of bias from all sides, which some see as proof of balance.
