A way to empower citizens in local and central politics

A call to action and creative engagement.

Socially responsible people are invited to join the growing movement to strengthen democracy and empower citizens in local and central politics. Popular movements in Germany, Netherlands and eastern european countries have in recent years succeeded to win rights to "more" citizen-led democracy.

Public protest has commonly been ignored by governments and “big business” but citizen law-making can overrule government and regulate companies.

We describe the “essential tools” of direct, citizen-led democracy: Initiative, Referendum-on-demand, Recall of elected politicians.

With a plan to exploit the imminent United Kingdom general election, using the tactic of protest-vote, we show how to pressurise parliament and simultaneously raise public awareness of the need for “citizen-led democracy”.

See our strategy page at  http://www.iniref.org/ which is linked to free background information and arguments for practical citizen-led democracy.
