We promised to do things differently — and we have. Below you will find evolved drafts of Your Party’s four founding documents: our Political Statement, Constitution, Standing Orders, and Organisational Strategy. Together, they set out our principles, our purpose, and how we organise to win. Over the last month, thousands of members have debated and amended these documents at regional assemblies across every nation of Britain, while also proposing edits online via our unique crowd-editing tool. Harnessing the wisdom of a mass movement, the documents have evolved in response to members’ views. The big questions will be decided by members democratically during our Founding Conference, with some amendments emerging from the process and members able to submit others. This is real democracy in action — get involved, as we build a new party by and for the people, not the powerful.
