How to Join Independents for Direct Democracy**
**Registered with the Electoral Commission as a "political party"
You don't need to join us formally or to pay anything to collaborate with us. And in spite of being registered as a "political party" - in order to be permitted by the Electoral Commission to support independent candidates nationwide in contesting elections - we actually exist to achieve a system that will spell the end of all parties and instead make MPs accountable directly to their electorate.
However, if you do wish to join us formally, simply fill in the form below, indicating your preferred method of payment, and we'll email you with the details you'll need to pay.
