Party leader Kirkwood endorses the Swiss model of government in which anyone can propose a policy and force the issue to a referendum if they can gather enough support. Without having a general manifesto, that's the main goal of the party.[1] Kirkwood also urges people to stand as independents under the slogan “vote for yourself”. The Movement for Active Democracy stood candidates for the first time at the 2010 general election.[2][3] Kirkwood also stood in South Dorset at the 2015 general election.[4] References1. ^{{cite news|last=Jeffery |first=Simon |url=https://www.theguardian.com/politics/blog/2010/apr/28/mad-fantasy-leaflet |title=M.A.D. by name, mad by ... | Politics |work=The Guardian |date=2010-04-28 |accessdate=2014-03-17}} 2. ^{{cite news|last=Matthews |first=Jenny |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/politics/election_2010/8631815.stm |title=Election 2010: Potholes to peace - more unusual pledges |publisher=BBC News |date=2010-04-28 |accessdate=2014-03-17}} 3. ^{{cite news|last=Carpenter |first=Julie |url=http://www.express.co.uk/expressyourself/171548/The-election-eccentrics |title=The election eccentrics |work=Daily Express |date=2010-04-26 |accessdate=2014-03-17}} 4. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.dorsetecho.co.uk/news/12916395.VOTE_2015__South_Dorset_Independent_candidate_Andy_Kirkwood_____The_reason_why_there_are_cuts_is_because_even_though_there_is_plenty_of_money_around__it___s_being_frittered_away_at_the_top____/|title=VOTE 2015: South Dorset Independent candidate Andy Kirkwood: ‘The reason why there are cuts is because even though there is plenty of money around, it’s being frittered away at the top.’|work=Dorset Echo|date=April 28, 2015|accessdate=April 14, 2017}} External links
