WHY I JOINED
I was looking for a balanced political choice with progressive ideas and no vested interests
I want a viable third party option. Really attracted to the values and policy platform
I want to be active within a party that makes real change.
To help protect democracy and bring about more responsibility from politicians
I like the middle ground the Party seeks to find, backed by scientific research
I hope to see a venerable old party rise from the dead and think I can help in the process
