Anthony Barnett (for whom I worked when I was at Charter 88 in the early 1990s) is right:

'The problem is not, ‘How do we restore British voters’ trust in the way we are governed?’ It is, ‘How do we change the way we are governed so that it becomes trustworthy?’.... and he then goes on to (rightly) reassert the constitutional changes we were arguing for in the 1990s

Trust is earned not engineered & this is especially the case in politics!
