YourParty.org has been in the news a bit this week. It was set up by Dan Thompson and Rod McLaren, of 365 and Simon Morris, ex MD of of Ginger Productions.
I got involved in setting up www.yourparty.org because I was tired of electing a government every 5 years and then watching them refuse referendums, break manifesto promises and vote against the wishes of their party and their electorate. There are plenty of discussion groups about e-democracy - but we thought we'd take things a few steps further and set up a real political party with real candidates!
YourParty offers members the chance to shape policy by voting on the things that really matter in their lives. Once our members vote on these polcies then our MP's are constitutionally bound to vote in line with them. We are growing incredibly fast and are looking for volunteers among ecademy members.
Check out the site and let us know if you can help. We meet every monday at Smiths bar in Smithfield at 7pm. See you there!
Thx! :)
