This is an interesting idea. The principles obviously won't be to the taste of all, but there are a lot of people, me included, who feel that the current parties don't really work for us given the current voting system.

Quote:
Inspired by a speech given by the late Jo Cox MP, More United believes in hope and unity, and rejects hatred and division. We have five fundamental beliefs that we will work towards:

A fair, modern, efficient market based economy that closes the gap between rich and poor and supports strong public services

A modern democracy that empowers citizens, rather than politicians

A green economy that protects the environment and works to reverse climate change

An open and tolerant society where diversity is celebrated in all its forms

A United Kingdom that welcomes immigration, international co-operation and a close relationship with the EU

Easy to say proof will be how they are if they ever get any power.

Re: MoreUnited.uk

Isn't it, as Andrew Marr suggested to Paddy Pantsdown this morning, simply just the libdems trying to find a voice in an arena where they no longer have one i.e. British politics?

Re: MoreUnited.uk

Where a parliamentary candidate sits on specific policies is of secondary interest at best to most voters. At a general election it is overwhelmingly the national message and how well the candidates communicate it and apply it to local circumstances that's the key to success.

Throwing Kickstarter cash at a candidate just because they're more socially liberal than the others won't make a difference if that candidate is a Tory in a Labour stronghold, or vice versa. I doubt there will be enough swing seats at the next election to make a big difference either.

MoreUnited sound like a third division team that will never play in the Premiership because of an absence of quality players .

Said the man who died destitute in Paris, after being imprisoned and doing two years hard labour

Not that successful.

Everything in moderation, including moderation....
