"The UK is ready for people-powered-change. 999 It's Time is a key part of this new movement. Politics is bent and broken. People feel angry and betrayed by politicians. But they work for us. Together we can reshape and fix politics, by making our voices heard and our presence felt. You'll be surprised at how high your MP might jump for you and a few friends. It can be a lot of fun too." - Pete Myers

This quote by Paul Valery sums it up: "Politics is the art of preventing people from taking part in the affairs which properly concern them". But it's the politicians who should be 'properly concerned', as together, it's the people who have the power to make change happen.
