CITIZEN-LED DEMOCRACY: ELECTION BRIEFING

Ideas for the imminent council ELECTIONS (June 2009)*
run-up period:

1 Ask representatives of political parties, incumbents and candidates
about their attitudes to citizens' direct democracy.

2 Write to head offices and approach local party constituency branches.

3 Suggest that they should indicate support for I and R in their
election manifestos, if they have not already done so.

4 Show them our short proposal

and ask them to introduce a similar proposal in the local or county
council (we'll supply further detail on request).

5 Democracy Reform needs YOU! Consider voting ONLY for those candidates
who pledge to work for the introduction of I and R if they get elected.
If there are no suitable candidates then write on your ballot paper
DIRECT DEMOCRACY NOW and drop it in the ballot box!

6 Stand yourself as a direct-democracy candidate in a future local or
country election.

7 Approach press and mass media about this.
