At a D4S meeting last night, the organisation confirmed its non party political commitment following mounting media speculation that it would field candidates in the 2010 election.

D4S spokesman, Alan Joynson, is adamant that Democracy 4 Stoke’s strength is in its independence from political parties, “Our aims have always been to drive forward changes to improve local democracy for the benefit of everybody. That is our only agenda and the foundation of our success in bringing together a broad community action campaign that includes everyone from all parties and non. Anyone is welcome to join us and campaign with us at any time, and that’s the way it will stay.”

This commitment will be reaffirmed at our AGM next month.
