The Revolutionary Peoples' Party

This is a party for people in the United Kingdom who would like Britain to become a Republic, removing the constitutional role of the Monarch entirely.

Ideally parliament would be removed completely and replaced with an online voting system. Any UK citizen would be allowed to propose a change to the law, once a certain level of support for this proposal had been established the proposal would be put to a national online vote. Legislation would then be implemented. Argument and discussion could take place online. Votes would be decided at a set time every week.

Budget decisions could be taken by allowing people to vote on general budget levels for individual departments and then allowing votes on spending within the department every year. Civil servants would draw up the initial budget based on current spending.

The Revolutionary Peoples' Party is devoted to true democracy.
