Kitchen Cabinet is a project initiated by the UK Design Council to design and prototype new systems of interaction between (UK) MPs and constituents and to create an open resource of ideas, suggestions and best practises that MPs can use to strengthen the connection between people and politicians.

Kitchen Cabinet starts with the constituent’s perspective. The Design Council has been “listening to the perceptions and experiences of constituents in North East and South East England” and they are “in the process of identifying a number of design opportunities that MPs can use to improve their relationship with local voters”.
