Independent politicians come of age
Independent politics means original thought, fresh talent, realworld experience. However, they have always suffered from inability to compete with the big parties.
The Open Party is the new national umbrella party for independent politicians. We provide campaign and financial support like other political parties, but to independent politicians standing on their own agenda.

What is different about the Open Party
Real experience
Standing for election is now open to the public, not just to the 1.5% of society who are party members.
Real representation
The public choose who the Open Party candidate will be through public primary elections.
Real accountability
Politicians are directly accountable to the public, not to a party.
