Why is the British Declaration of Independence different from other campaigns to restore our country and democracy?

      Because :

·        it is NOT JUST a campaign but, more important, a direct means of linking votes at a General Election to an Act of Parliament which will assert British Sovereignty

·        it bypasses political parties and returns to the basis of Democracy – the Sovereignty of the people - that is the right of the British people to make their own laws and sack their own law makers.

·        It allows those who want a democratic self-governing nation to vote for those who commit themselves in writing to specific actions in Parliament to assert our Democracy

·        it demands a parliamentary candidate's specific signature

·        and a specific commitment to voting for a constitutional Bill before parliament

·        which, when passed, will immediately restore our democratic rights as a nation state if those rights have been lost

How will the Declaration restore Democracy?

Candidates who refuse to sign up to the democratic rights in the British Declaration of Independence will find their political careers at an end. Why should the sovereign people entrust their sovereignty to politicians who abuse it? The reaction of millions who refuse to vote (41% at the last general election) is an inevitable result of this abuse by the politicians of all parties.

BY NOT VOTING AT ALL THE VOTERS ARE REFUSING TO GIVE CONSENT TO BE RULED. DEMOCRACY ITSELF IS AT RISK. IT IS VITAL THAT THOSE CANDIDATES WHO GO TO PARLIAMENT TO REPRESENT THE PEOPLE BELIEVE IN THE SOVEREIGNTY OF THE PEOPLE.

IF THEY DO NOT, WE ARE ELECTING A DICTATORSHIP.

Because we are concentrating on those candidates (i.e. the major parties) who will almost certainly be in the next parliament and thus able to bring about change, the British Declaration of independence is a shorter route back to our democratic nationhood than just establishing new parties.

The BDI:

-     is an opportunity for those candidates who wish to do the will of the voter

-         is a threat to those who do not believe in the Sovereignty of the British People

-         is a solution to the loss of British self-government

-         prevents sovereign democrats in different parties wiping each other out

-         is educational for the electorate to see what their 'democratic representatives'

      may not sign up to

-     is educational for candidates to see what their parties might try to stop them                       

      signing up to

-    asserts the very basis of Democracy - the Sovereignty of the People over our

      representatives

What happens if no Candidate from the Parliamentary parties signs in my constituency?

We are concentrating only on those parties already represented in Parliament. If they do not sign you could vote for any of the many smaller parties not already represented in Parliament - many of whom who ARE committing themselves to the Sovereignty of the British people and the independence of the United Kingdom.

The British people did not lose their right to self government because ONE political party voted away those rights. THREE political parties voted away those rights – A Conservative Government, supported by Labour and Liberal Democrat MPs started the process and it has been recently continued by a Labour Government with the support of Conservative and Liberal Democrat MPs.

So it does not matter which PARTY you vote for. It only matters which CANDIDATE you vote for – either a Labour, Conservative or Liberal Democrat who has signed the BDI or for one of the smaller parties which believes in what the BDI stands for – British democratic self-government.

What happens to those who sign the Declaration?

Just in case their parties might think of exerting pressure on them or even deselecting them before the election, their names will be revealed after nominations close and 5 days before Polling Day. They themselves may choose to reveal themselves sooner, especially if we build a public momentum behind the Declaration and more and more voters and candidates support it. If more than one candidate has signed then voters will have the luxury of selecting on a political basis between true democrats.

Why not just vote for the UK Independence Party or similar parties?

Because it is unlikely that they will be represented in sufficient numbers in the next parliament. You should certainly vote for them, or any other non parliamentary party which believes in British Sovereignty if none of the parliamentary party candidates has signed the BDI. If they are elected those candidates of UKIP or other such parties can combine with the Declaration candidates in the major parties. Our aim is not to promote ANY political party but to promote democratic candidates who believe in our right to self-government. When they combine in sufficient numbers in Parliament we will win.

UKIP and other small parties should of course NOT STAND against Conservative, Ulster Unionist, Labour, Liberal Democrat etc candidates who have signed the BDI and concentrate on the seats where known anti democrats from those parties are standing. If they refuse to do so and stand against good democrats then the voters will know what to do.

The BDI acts as a signal to all parties and all voters. It helps to distinguish between the candidates – so you can vote for a democrat for a change!

Why don't BDI MPs leave their parties and join UKIP? 

BDI MPs belong to parties which have fundamentally incompatible politics. They could therefore not form or join a single party because they agree only on this constitutional issue. The legislation which destroyed the British Constitution was only passed by a cross party majority in 1972 (Heath's governing party could not pass it on it's own). It will take a cross party majority to reverse that legislation.

That is the power of the BDI - it allows politicians and voters to remain with their ideological allegiance and yet combine in Parliament to reassert the sovereignty of the British people.

To our knowledge there are no cases where an MP has left a political party, joined another and retained the seat he held. The BDI unlike every sovereignty Party, except the Ulster Unionist parties, has MPs in Parliament. It would be madness for them to jeopardise their seat in parliament and madness for UKIP to stand against them. 95% of British democrats understand this.

What can I do to make an impact?

The most vital thing to do is to pledge your vote on this website so that you can join the hundreds of thousands of other patriots who will withhold their vote from the candidates of the parliamentary parties unless those candidates sign the Declaration. Only if you and your friends and relations pledge your vote will your candidates feel they have to sign. If you or others have no internet access give your name address and post code to those who do have access so they can register for you.

After that the most effective step is to write (individually or in a letter writing group locally - numbers count!) to your MP/prospective candidates and tell them that you will not be voting for them unless they sign The British Declaration of Independence. 

DON'T FORGET THE BDI IS NOTHING MORE OR LESS THAN THE CONFIRMATION BY YOUR PARLIAMENTARY CANDIDATES THAT THE

BRITISH PEOPLE HAVE A COUNTRY, A PARLIAMENT AND A DEMOCRACY
