Abstract
<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>This article is a short overview of the recently released report entitled <jats:italic>Doing Democracy Better</jats:italic> published by the Constitution Unit based at University College London. The report makes a series of interesting and useful observations about the health of democratic discourse within the <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">UK</jats:styled-content> and advances a selection of recommendations for its improvement. Whilst noting the value of the report as a piece of substantive research, there are a number of further questions which need to be addressed. As such, this report should be seen as the starting point of a broader discussion that takes a more nuanced approach to improving democratic discourse and a less London‐centric approach to conceptualising the <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">UK</jats:styled-content>'s political institutions and language.</jats:p>
