Now that the UK has left the EU, London should leave the UK.

Discussing and Organising for a London independent from the UK

Now that the UK has left the EU, London should leave the UK. Our city has a larger population that Scotland and Wales put together, is the Europe's 6th largest economy, and, as the recent referendum vote makes clear, is ideologically different from the rest of England. Let's GTFO.

Goals

  • We seek a London independent of both the UK and England
  • We support London's immigrant population as full Londoners with as much right to be here as anyone.
  • We oppose fascist and racist groups that harass immigrants and any anyone who does not fit a narrow, hateful view of who should be part of our city.

A good example of an early idea.

This went nowhere, but I think it will someday. Hopefully within our lifetimes.

Did anything happen with this?

I'm curious, anyone still want to go along with this? I feel like we've calmed down enough now to be rational about it.

PSA: Non-UK citizens can join UK political parties

Since one of the "issues" we have is that many London residents are not UK citizens, I e-mailed Labour to ask if they accept non-UK citizens as members, and they just confirmed that they do.

Now, perhaps in the long run there's a need for a separate SNP style party for London independence, but in the meantime, at least Labour welcomes non-citizen members. I'm confident that means that at least some of the others do as well.

To quote from their reply:

You can become a Labour Party member despite not being a British citizen. To do so, you will need to have lived in Britain for more than 12 months, and in order to pay you need to have a British bank account.

I'm not decided on whether to join, or not, or whether to consider the Lib Dems instead given their indication they'll run on voting against Brexit. This is not an attempt at pushing people to join Labour, unless you happen to broadly agree with them - "entryism" (having people who don't agree with their aims enter to support specific causes) will do us no good.

Rather, I'd recommend any non-UK citizens who'd prefer other parties to contact them too and ask if their policies are the same with respect to residents who are not citizens (and report back here). As much as building a support base to push this onto the agenda in one of the major parties would be great, the more broadly we are represented in supporting independence also will help - making a it London-thing instead of a partisan thing would be useful.

In any case, this means more us have the ability to join and try to push devolution and/or independence onto the agenda in the major parties.

James o malley(170 000 signature guy) message for Londependence!

"I'll be on the panel at this event next Wednesday, July 6th, at Conway Hall near Holborn which is going to look at what happens next following the EU referendum. It would be totally excellent to see some #Londependence supporters come along. Together, we can try to figure out what on earth is going on and what might happen next regarding our relationship with Europe."

I can't go sadly. I believe its a ticketed event!
