Imagine a government where you directly elect ministers for health, education, and more - and fire them if they fail. Sovereignty makes that real: a bold framework putting power firmly in voters' hands through Directly Elected Ministers (DEMs) who can be recalled anytime.

It empowers politicians to deliver real change with accountability baked in, while voters own the outcomes by choosing leaders who serve their communities and nation fiercely.

Rooted in Britain's proud democratic heritage, Sovereignty supercharges representation by making ministerial accountability systemic and unbreakable.

Introducing Sovereignty & How It Works

Sovereignty launches when MPs or candidates sign the Sovereignty Accord, pledging to enact the Sovereignty Act.

Once they secure a majority, they pass the Act and call a fresh election to directly elect the cabinet.

Sovereignty in action:

• Elections: Voters choose:

  • A Prime Minister handling Defence, National Security, and Foreign Affairs.

  • DEMs leading departments like Health, Education, Transport, Justice, or Immigration. Each candidate pitches clear policies, goals, budgets, and tax costs—giving you costed, issue-driven options.

  • Constituency MPs, one per local area, to represent your voice. Learn more 

• Governance: DEMs deliver on their manifesto promises, managing departments and raising taxes via the Treasury as pledged - like a binding contract with voters.

• Recalls & Accountability: Unhappy? Launch a recall petition online, for verified voters only. At 25% of the electorate, the DEM's legislative powers suspend until a recall election (they can rerun). At 50%, the Monarch dissolves the role; the PM appoints a temp until voters elect a replacement. DEMs can always rerun, unless legally barred.

• Legislation:

  • DEMs propose bills in their domain.

  • Voting weights: Lead DEM 30%, other DEMs combined 20%, Constituency MPs 25%, public Direct Vote 25%. A bill could pass with just the lead DEM (30%) plus public support (25%), overriding others.

  • A Special Adjudicator decides if a bill needs co-sponsors for cross-department issues. Multiple DEMs? Their combined vote stays 30% - unless half or more join, bumping to 40%. One DEM with multiple departments? Still 30%.

  • Details on the full legislative process here.

• Direct Democracy: Regular voting days every four months for public ballots on laws or recalls - secure, paper-based for trust.

• Policy Development: Online forums, let grassroots voices shape issues, solutions, and even spot future DEMs. Platforms use top-tier security for verified users, polls and debates.

Sovereignty unleashes a dynamic, responsive democracy: Policies become ironclad commitments, not empty words. Issue-focused, not party-bound, it drives real results, boosts engagement and puts voters and elected Ministers in control.

The Sovereignty Apparatus

Sovereignty Accord: Open to anyone - leaders, experts, politicians, parties. Signers commit to backing Accord candidates and, if elected as MPs, passing the Sovereignty Act.

Sovereignty Act: The law reshaping elections and governance. Read an early draft.

Sovereignty Digital Platform: Tools for civil society to tackle local, regional, and national issues. Launching soon.

Sovereignty Academy: Training for all on issue-driven politics; citizens, leaders, politicos. Coming soon.

Sovereignty: Departmental Roles

Prime Minister:

• National Defence and Security.

• Foreign Policy: Global representation and ambassador appointments (but no ratification of binding international deals - that's for the Globalisation DEM).

• Crisis Leadership: Coordinating rapid responses across government.

• Inter-Departmental Harmony: Ensuring DEMs collaborate on overlaps; power to propose adding or axing departments.

Globalisation Department: Handles all binding supranational treaties and agreements (e.g., WHO, EU, UN).

Chancellor of the Exchequer / Treasury: Oversees national finances. Departments set own budgets/taxes, but Treasury coordinates. Post-election, DEMs negotiate with the Chancellor, who drafts the Budget Charter and Finance Bill. More on budgeting here.

All Other Departments: As today, but DEMs with independently set budgets and taxes and additional legislative powers - directly accountable to voters.

New Departments: Public petitions can demand creation, triggering parliamentary debate or vote per Act thresholds. PM proposes additions/eliminations, subject to scrutiny and weighted votes. For mergers or closures, affected DEMs must co-author.
