Note
From a holistic political economy perspective this is an issue based organisation; it does not have or imply any vision for a better society. It says this "We are not connected to any political parties, and are funded by donations from our members. Our independence means we can campaign on issues that we feel passionately about and that we decide on together. We are driven by issues and outcomes, and judge all politicians by the same standards." emphasis added. However it takes it as a given that anyone has a right to participate and seeks to use technology to facilitate this, as such it is most certainly a step in the right direction.
