A voice of the anti-political majority
 

 Welcome to the public Web site of the UK Anti Party.

The Anti Party is the party for independents. Our candidates are people who wish to participate in the political process but do not wish to be constrained by the straitjacket of a political party. Our members, and elected representatives, are free to believe, act and vote as they choose. We avoid having policies, and we do not have "whipping". Our MPs will listen to the debate, form their own judgement, and vote accordingly.

Why do independents need a party? Because the electoral system is party-oriented. It does not take overt independents very seriously, and it does not afford them all the privileges of party candidates. And some elections actually include "party lists" and therefore explicitly militate against independents.   

 

  We are the only UK party which truly believes in democracy.  Watch this space for a review of some of the many ways in which UK democracy currently falls short. In the meantime, look at this paper by Tony Benn, who, although NOT a member of the Anti Party, is one of the few true democrats in politics, and says some amazingly sensible things.


Identification: See our "Symbols" page for how the Party is identified, including the envisaged presentation on voting slips.
