I dislike politics. Therefore i don't follow it intently. I plead ignorance when it comes to its ins and outs.
However, recent developments have meant that i may need to begin to think about starting my own political movement, and i was hoping for some help
from you guys and gals......please 
Answers and questions are welcome 
Thanks.
Peace.

Hey, I'm not alone then.  I fully intend to set up a political party next year when I turn 18...a bit young maybe, but age shouldn't matter in
my opinion.
I wonder if you'll struggle with a name too...
extranet.electoralcommission.org.uk...
This link should help, it is what I have been looking through to apply anyway.  God luck, and I hope to see you as an opponent in future elections

what will your party stand for ?
good luck with it, depending on what your party wants you could get my support

Remember that there are laws against giving too much money to a candidate.
But
With a political party, donations to the party (soft money) is not so controlled. You need a party with candidates and the soft money rolls in.
That leaves the 2010 elections if there are any.
Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Arizona, California (some of it may still be around), Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois,
Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Missouri, New York, New York, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio,
Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Utah, Vermont, Washington, Wisconsin are all up for grabs. You need someone in each
state and you'll control 1/3 of the Senate.
Get a web site and get the cash coming in.
Stand for term limits, truth and transparency, lower taxes, a freeze on pork spending, etc.
