Become an Independent For Liberty
It starts with the decision to stand for election…
Once you’ve decided, maybe we can help…
Why IndependentsForLiberty.uk?
Support Network
Anyone could stand as an independent candidate without Independents for Liberty. It’s a legal right for anyone meeting the criteria laid down by the Electoral Commission. However, those of us who have campaigned before know that the support of others makes a motivational difference.
What Independents for Liberty seeks to offer is a support network for independent candidates standing on broadly libertarian platforms. The network is made up of former and current candidates acting as mentors, sounding boards, and ‘cheerleaders’ providing valuable experience and motivation. Network members all offer their support voluntarily.
How Does It Work?
Network Format
Anyone who meets the criteria may participate in the Independents for Liberty network. The network operates on a voluntary basis. Volunteers offer their time according to their availability.
