Are you a current MP or Councillor in England? If you wish to DEFECT TO HARMONY this form is the correct way to begin the process.

Privacy Notice

Please be aware that all submitted information will be read by volunteers of the Research Working Group, as well as Party Members and Participants in the appropriate Regional and/or Constituency Society. We will not pass details on to third parties.

Important Note

Please read this section, "The Ethical Kernel" of the Party Constitution, before progressing, as your submission of this form is assumed willingness to abide by the Kernel as a Party applicant and, if Selected, candidate.

"This document binds the Party and all forms of its Consensus in these ways:

• • firstly, all Consensus of Assemblies and all Party Consensus must seek to be guided in all things first by compassion, then by the pursuit of justice, and never the other way around, and
  • secondly, all Consensus of Assemblies and all Party Consensus must seek never to take a decision which will result directly in unavoidable injury to a human being, and must not, through inaction, allow human beings or humanity to come to harm, and
  • thirdly, the Party must act transparently, so both the Membership and the Public may understand its workings and purposes, and
  • fourthly, Party Officials must always act in accordance with the Consensus of relevant Assemblies and Party Consensus, except where such action would conflict with this Part, the "Ethical Kernel".

"The Party is founded upon principles elaborated from the proponents of socialism, communism, and anarchism, and is in perpetuity socialist, and in perpetuity in support of the principles of mutual aid, and the right to both a just value upon and a fair say with regards one's own labour; we commit in perpetuity the Party to democracy by consensus decisionmaking.

"Both Members and Officers of the Party must not:

"Engage in any behaviour that is prejudicial, racist, sexist, ableist, homophobic, transphobic, hateful, anti-socialist, or which constitutes bullying or harassment, and must further not engage in inducement or incitement towards any of the preceding. Any such behaviour will be reviewed for harm by the Committee of Resolutions in accordance with this constitution and may result in expulsion from roles or the Membership. If the Secretaries of Resolution rule in initial consideration that the breach would be of high harm if true (which is not an indication of guilt itself), then the Member will be suspended until the end of the investigation by the Party. Please see the Annexe for specific guidance on disciplinary proceedings.

"The entirety of this Part (Part 3) of the Constitution are hereby declared the only portion of the Party to be utterly permanent, for as long as the Party exists, and any change here that is not in addition not just to the letter but the spirit of the intentions of the articles is to be assumed a dissolution of the Party. To be clear: no mechanism exists for changing the Ethical Kernel, but mechanisms do exist for expanding its scope and raising its bar.

"Any living human individual may donate to the Party, but they may not donate more than £500 per calendar year. Any individual who is found to pass money to another individual to circumvent this limitation will be subject to expulsion after fair application of the Party disciplinary process.

"Organisations, societies, and corporations are ordinarily barred from donating to the Party except with the express exceptional permission of the Membership as a result of a Party Thing. Foreign organisations (being those which are not registered in the Nation) are expressly forbidden from donating, as are individuals who are non-dom status in relation to the Nation."
