About David Cordingley

Leader of the United Kingdom Popular Democrats

"I'm an ordinary bloke, with all the attendant faults and strengths which that invokes. Like many millions of you, I love Britain and all the British people, whoever they are and wherever they come from, and with all our many strengths and weaknesses. It is that love that has prompted me to set up a new political party for Britain, The United Kingdom Popular Democrats (UKpopdems).

Over the last thirty years or so, people feel Britain has taken a wrong turn somewhere. Democracy and rights for the ordinary Briton are slowly being eroded, while government is stealing more power for itself and its cronies, and interfering more and more in our ordinary, everyday lives. UKpopdems will stop all this by weakening the power of government and strengthening the combined democratic will of the people.

Other parties focus on achieving government power, and keeping it through spin and stealth. Other parties implement policies based on party dogma that suit themselves and their powerful backers. Other parties are only interested in taking more from the British people and giving less. UKpopdems are focused on listening to what the majority of the British people want, and serving these wants in government. UKpopdems will implement structures to make sure that, in future, ordinary British people like you and me always have more power than government. That's real democracy.

Unlike many politicians, who've led a detached life in politics and law, I've worked for a living, and I've listened to people. I've listened from the Boardroom to the shop floor, from the office to the construction site, from the hospital ward to the school yard, from the unemployment office to the police beat, from the public servant to the family. And I'm still listening. The policies you see in these web pages are the result of that listening. UKpopdems is a popular party made for the people. My goal is simply to make Britain and the law abiding British people better off, both financially and socially.

Ukpopdems are doing what no other main stream party dare do. That is, to publish our first term policies in detail well before any election. This way, you'll know exactly where we're coming from and what we intend to deliver on your behalf. Please look through our vision, goals and policies and, if you like what you see, please join us. UK Popular Democrats need all the good people we can get if we are going to make a difference to Britain's future."
