The fact that you did not attend the meeting to speak in favour of your Pro-Independence Position should also be noted by all English Nationalists.
You left the English Democrats party once the democratic vote went against you.
as did your New Party leader Andrew Constantine, when he was not selected as the London Mayoral Candidate again by a democratic vote.
Personally I think that democracy is the best way forward, but maybe you wish to run your New Party along different lines ?

Interesting post. Now I shall tell people the truth. I tendered my resignation FOUR MONTHS after that AGM, for which I gave notice many months in advance that I would not be able to attend. My resignation email to the EDP chairman was dated 19th Jan of this year. My enthusiasm for the EDP died the day that you offered to meet with the far right England First party, which I opposed. I offered my resignation at that point but was persuaded to stay on. You caused a huge rift in the party at that time, which has never fully healed.
You say the EDP are a democratic party. Well, I put this to you. The roots of the EDP come from the English National Party, a party that had independence as a policy. Would you mind telling us all by what mechanism the party changed its name, and was it put to a vote of the members?
