The Democratic Network was set up in January 2021.  We help people get involved in local and general elections and undertake research.  It’s time for a change!!

If you want to get involved in the helping more Independent MPs get elected in the general election please take part in our annual Network Survey.  Let us know what matters to you.  You can opt in to receive more information about candidates and the issues that matter to people. To take part click here.

A list of Independent and local party candidates is here.

To find who’s standing where you live visit www.WhoCanIVoteFor.co.uk

The survey also contains a section on next years local elections (including County Council).  If you are interested in standing for election as a local Councillor check out the LGA (Local Government Association) website: https://www.local.gov.uk/be-councillor

Our first research project concerned censorship, free speech and electronic payments.  The decision to undertake this survey was prompted by PayPal’s decision to close a number of organisations’ accounts.  We launched the survey after this issue was raised in parliament by Danny Kruger MP on 22 September.  The Free Speech Union helped us with the survey; they were one of the organisations whose accounts had been closed.  Our report, published in September 2022, is here
