The media's discussions of the democratic deficit
In the last few months of 2013, the BBC, Guardian, and other UK media have given much coverage and discussion to exactly those problems that the RDP was created to deal with. Surveys have been showing that the overwhelming proportion of the UK electorate are now recognised as very disenchanted with the House of Commons and politicians in general. And they are not apathetic but rather angry and frustrated at a seeming lack of any options to change things (but only because they haven't yet heard of the RDP!).
BBC Radio 4's PM program in particular had a whole series of interactions between listeners sending in their suggestions and panels of experts giving their judgements thereon.

We don't know how to run your (and our!) country.
But we do
know how to enable you to run it.
We content ourselves with being experts on just that alone.
The Real Democracy Party is the only party that passes all these crucial tests:-
- We are not in the business of putting ourselves in power over people; instead we will put the people in power.
- We do not lump together a load of unrelated policies and pretend we know the answers to everything -- we just have one basic policy. And yet....
- We are not just some single-issue party that fails to address the broad whole of the political scene.
- We alone have the answer to the most crucial issue of all -- the failure of electoral/party politics.
- We alone are the future of politics, not just yet another example of the same old approach which has failed so consistently before.

The Real Democracy Party is the uniquely competent solution in the UK and equally unique in the entire world. The Real Democracy Party stands unrivalled as the future of politics and government!
Our proposed new political system (realdem) is the outcome of many years of research and discussion and thinking, but we at RDP HQ do not reckon to delude ourselves that we have a highway to perfection. Not least, any political system is itself inherently a politically-contentious matter, with no absolutely "correct" answer to the questions involved in its design. For that reason an important function of the RDP is going to be not only the practical introduction of realdem, but also the organisation of consultation and debate about its various options. And as part of that, we invite you to let us know your thoughts about the present proposals.
