The Network was created in December 1999. It was established following the winding up of Democratic Left. Democratic Left was the legal successor organisation to the Communist Party of Great Britain
Unlike its predecessor the Network is politically independent and is committed to working across the political spectrum. To this end the Network has worked with individuals from all the main political parties and is committed to continuing to do so.
The Network organised Tacticalvoter.net during the 2001 General Election. It received extensive media coverage and it is accepted that tacticalvoter.net changed the result in two seats, Cheadle and Dorset South. The site also successfully showed the weakness of the present voting system.
Cleanpolitix.com is a database driven information resource. It contains listings of all major political donations (data from the Electoral Commission as well as biographies on the donors and an archive of party funding stories and background information.
The Network is a member of the Make Votes Count (campaign for proportional representation) and Votes at 16 coalitions.
The Network is currently working on a number of initiatives with Charter88, including Elect the Lords, a campaign for democratic reform of the House of Lords.
