Democratic Yorkshire

With Whitehall in shambles, we should adopt a system similar to what they have in Switzerland and their Cantons, allowing power to move upwards from the bottom.

Yorkshire needs a new style of government. One where everyday people are involved at all stages of the governance process: from bringing forward initial proposals to making the final decisions, from policy implementation to follow-up monitoring & evaluation for effectiveness.

Our next online seminar is about tackling climate change using systems thinking and will take place on Saturday, 18 May, between 1.00 and 2.30 pm. https://t.co/m0xcpkO9Bz

@jonsopel @AngelaRayner Totally agree - at least Angela is from the real world were people struggle

@RHonnoraty Even £500 is a good deal for some independent candidates

[Democratic Yorkshire @DemocraticYork1]

@RHonnoraty It would also be great to see the first Yorkshire Party MP elected at the upcoming general election

[Democratic Yorkshire @DemocraticYork1]

Congratulations to David Tully, the independent candidate for coming second in yesterday's Rochdale by-election, beating the main political parties by a mile by sticking to local issues. We need more people like you to stand for public office.

The Prime Minister set Monday's Cabinet meeting in Goole to discuss his plans to redistribute funding from the abandoned HS2. All I could hear afterwards was a sigh from people who had listened to the same promises before.

[Democratic Yorkshire @DemocraticYork1]

The Prime Minister and his Cabinet will meet in East Yorkshire today. Is this a gimmick, or have they finally woken up to the fact that in this first quarter of the twenty-first century, differences between the more successful Southern England and the North continue to grow?

Andy Burnham was spot on this morning's Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg's programme when he criticised the Whipping System.

@YPHarrogate @Conservatives @labour @Yorkshire_Party @NorthEast_Party When they can believe in you. Don't blame the electorate for not voting for you but yourself

[Democratic Yorkshire @DemocraticYork1]

We are investing in a new, more upbeat, and professional website than that in use currently. Hopefully it will be available within the next three weeks, so watch this space

The passing of not only a famous but great Yorkshireman who never forgot his roots

We had an excellent meeting online 12 months ago about Yorkshire's future economy

Started in January 2022, Democratic Yorkshire stands for a vibrant democracy, inclusive society, and ecological civilisation for the benefit of the people of Yorkshire.

Our first 20 months has been spent developing the initial draft of a People’s Constitution for Yorkshire.

[Democratic Yorkshire @DemocraticYork1]

Our mission is to create a vibrant democracy, inclusive society, and ecological civilisation for the benefit of the people of Yorkshire.

[Democratic Yorkshire @DemocraticYork1]

The changes required in response to global climate disruption and social injustices are so extensive as to require another form of human civilization. Changes we at Democratic Yorkshire take seriously.

Here in Yorkshire the @LibDems @TheGreenParty and @Yorkshire_Party all have huge opportunities, plus they all support the creation of a Yorkshire Parliament.

A Yorkshire Parliament would work to create prosperity for the whole of Yorkshire. Piecemeal devolution to mayors has had some success and we must build on that but it could not stop the closure of Doncaster Sheffield Airport.

Stakeholders do deserve proper consideration. This can be one of the advantages of cooperative enterprises. UBI not only offers hope but it could provide a real safety net which can be so valuable in time of need.

[Campaign for a Yorkshire Parliament @ForParliament]

The current economic system focuses too much on investors as opposed to stakeholders which also include employees, customers, and the communities in which businesses operate. All stakeholders deserve proper consideration. Prosperity should be a by-product of business not poverty

[Campaign for a Yorkshire Parliament @ForParliament]

Labour appears to be positioning itself to lose the next election. We need Labour to return to the progressive fold. In terms of reform, we need fair votes; devolution on the basis of subsidiarity; and an end to our adversarial political system.
