But that's the idea . . .

Just like the Dissident Congress trident

Can't find you Populist. I guess you are not Populist Party of America 1892. Google doesn't come up with a web-site.

As you are interested generally M, we've deliberately worked our party from the other end. Whereas many new parties start with one big but impractical idea, or several hazy but impractical ideas, UKpopdems has spent the two years of our existence strengthening and deepening vision, goals and policies so that they are practical. That phase is just coming to an end with the imminent publication of our 'International Vision' paper called 'Raising Britain's International Standing'. That's the fifth and full set.

We're currently working the practical implementation with political acedemics, a think tank and a couple of politicians - it's why we have started to focus our energies on Empowered, Participative Democracy. It's a neat fit and we're at the leading edge just as the term is beginning to be understood and is slowly coming into wider use.

Our next step is to petition more widely.

Well, you sound a shed load better than the old bunch, so I wish you well.

It's amazing how much information can be gleaned from a statement of accounts. The main Populist Party website is http://www.populist.org.uk but content has yet to be uploaded. I shall give you the honours of finding out the urls of other Populist Party websites.

Here I am.

As DC implies the best way to find out about the realistic state of a party is to examine their most recent set of Accounts submitted to the Electoral Commission.

In case you've not checked to see that the EC is doing the Poppadems justice, you can find their Submission here:

The Electoral Commission : Document summary
