Making a regular monthly donation to Something New really helps us pay for web services, and build up a fighting fund for elections.

We publish basic details of all income openly, so be sure you’re OK with that before you donate, and that you’re on the UK electoral roll.

Tell your followers on Twitter about what we’re doing! Include our handle @havesomenew, and you can also link to the website, particular articles or manifesto pages.

Sharing our content on your timeline will show your friends that you think we’re worth a look. Why not share a news post, a manifesto page, or a video?

If you’re a redditor, you can support us by submitting links to content on the our website, or just anything that mentions us. The best place might be /r/ukpolitics, but there are many other options. If you post, let us know at @havesomenew, and we’ll put out the call for upvotes!

Got a few minutes?

All our policy is crowdsourced, and you can easily add your own ideas in just a few minutes:

  1. Head over to the manifesto
  2. Find the area where you want to add your idea
  3. Hit “Make a change” at the top right, and sign up for an account if necessary
  4. Write your idea
  5. Hit the “Submit changes” button at the bottom, follow the instructions, and you’re done!

After that, the existing authors will decide if it goes into the main manifesto, and if it does, you get to vote next time! Democracy in action!

Improve the manifesto

Local papers are always after letters to publish. Why not write to express your disappointment with our current political options, and mention that we’re trying to do things differently? Normally you can just send an email, so this doesn’t take long!

Got an hour or two?

Why not write a blog post or article about us, or generally on your thoughts about democracy and how we can do it better? Make sure you share it far and wide, of course, and let us know so we can do the same!

Start writing

Isn’t it annoying when you can’t search what politicians and candidates say in person? We think so.

That’s why we want to use SayIt to publish transcripts of our talks and podcasts. If you fancy it, you can transcribe something from the list below, either straight into the site, or just write it into a document and send it over to [email protected].

Most things are about half an hour long, but it’ll probably take longer to transcribe unless you’re a whiz with a shorthand keyboard.

All the links below need transcribing, so pick one and get started!

Become a volunteer

We’re always after more people to stand. Obviously this is a big commitment, but if you’re inspired to offer people a new choice, then come and join the conversation and let’s make it happen!

Knowledge, experience, etc not required :)
