Minimum Democratic Standards in Political Parties.

Rejected 17 signatures

What the petition asks

We demand better laws dealing with the registration and regulation of political parties. Major parties that block membership applications from the entire British public are a threat to democracy and should be prevented from registering or being described as a political party.
