We listen
People can share their experience anonymously, under a chosen name or openly. Nothing is published without clear permission.
Our mission
Listen first. Understand properly. Make ignored voices impossible to overlook.
The Forgotten Millions exists to understand why so many people have stepped away from politics — and what would need to change for them to take part again.
Share your storyWhy we exist
Political disengagement is too often explained without asking the people who have disengaged.
People who never vote, stopped voting, or vote only reluctantly are frequently reduced to statistics or labelled apathetic. We believe they should be asked directly, listened to without judgement and allowed to explain their reasons in their own words.
Our purpose is to collect those experiences, identify the patterns behind them and build a clearer national picture of why trust has been lost.
How it works
From individual experiences to a national picture.
We identify patterns
Responses, polls and stories help reveal the recurring reasons people feel ignored, unrepresented or unable to trust the system.
We report clearly
Anonymised findings will be turned into accessible summaries and reports that show what people are actually saying.
What we will do
Our commitments
- Listen without judging or trying to persuade.
- Protect privacy and respect every contributor’s choices.
- Publish personal stories only with explicit permission.
- Present anonymised findings clearly and honestly.
- Remain independent and non-partisan.
What we will not do
No campaigning. No assumptions.
We will not tell anyone which party to support, dismiss their reasons for disengaging or use their words without consent.
The purpose is not simply to tell people to vote. It is to understand what politics must do differently to earn their trust, participation and vote.
Your voice matters
Help us build a picture politics cannot ignore.
Whether you have never voted, stopped voting or still vote without feeling represented, your experience belongs in this conversation.
