About More United
More United is transforming British politics to make it fit for the 21st century. We bring together MPs from different parties who agree with our values to run campaigns together on issues they agree on, using their influence in Parliament and using our cross-party model to deliver change. At the same time, we empower thousands of people to take action online and offline in support of those campaigns, applying public pressure and thereafter volunteering and donating. In this way, people have a bigger voice and are able to make an impact without having to sign up to the outdated party system. More United are seeking a:
