When the will of the electorate is contrary to my opinions I will still implement the will of the electorate - even if that means that I have to stand down....come the revolution!As the Will of the Electorate party gets more sophisticated in asking you the questions, we will be asking very difficult questions! Some of these questions can only be answered by the public. For example when it comes to health expenditure we can spend Millions keeping one person alive for another month or another year, but we don't have the Millions for everyone. Asking an individual to decide who lives and who dies is an impossible ask, on the other hand if we can get the Will of the Electorate to make these decisions there is no finger pointing and hopefully there is some closure as to those who won't get treated...come the revolutionThe Will of the Electorate party needs to ask the public questions - &nbsp;for instance, currently the government is talking about removing petrol and diesel vehicles from the roads yet they are not talking about removing private jets from the sky or private yachts from the sea - it does sound as if that there are two lots of reality going on here and Peter believes the will of the electorate will give a very strong signal to government about these sorts of things....come the revolutionThe Will of the Electorate in its first term will actually be doing some policy work and that policy work will be implementing efficiently and effectively the policies that you've already agreed through the old system. Far too often we are seeing those policies being frustrated or abused for political dogma reasons.&nbsp;So what we';ll do while we're asking the electorate what their priorities are, We will just tidy up the basic services that you expect for government to put &nbsp;a simple example the Will of the Electorate party will fill the metaphorical potholes of government services.&nbsp;...come the revolutionSome policies probably don't justify a nationwide referendum, even if it's as easy as touching a yes or no on your mobile phone. The Will of the Electorate will use the Civil Service to find out what the electorate want to do using things like focus groups and longitudinal studies and various other tools available.&nbsp;These techniques are actually well understood by the corporate sector and use them in their product design and marketing. ...come the revolution

Come the Revolution!

<h2>The Silent Majority Finds Its Voice</h2>In today's digital age, where social media platforms have become the new town square, the power of the silent majority is finally being recognized. For far too long, this group of individuals has remained in the shadows, quietly observing and absorbing the noise of the vocal few. But now, thanks to the democratization of information and the rise of online communities, the silent majority is finding its voice.One of the key catalysts for this transformation is the ability for individuals to connect with like-minded people from all corners of the world. Online forums, social media groups, and niche communities have provided a platform for the silent majority to share their thoughts, opinions, and experiences. No longer bound by geographical limitations or societal constraints, individuals can now find solace in knowing that they are not alone in their beliefs.<figure id="figure-ddz01lps3ln68sn2n"><img id="ddz01lps3ln68sn2n" src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1660994324224-e735f09ea37e?crop=entropy&amp;cs=tinysrgb&amp;fit=max&amp;fm=jpg&amp;ixid=M3wyNjI5NjF8MHwxfHNlYXJjaHwxMXx8c2lsZW50JTIwbWFqb3JpdHl8ZW58MHx8fHwxNjk2MDkxMDI5fDA&amp;ixlib=rb-4.0.3&amp;q=80&amp;w=1080" alt="silent majority" class="object-cover bg-gray-100" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9;" data-mce-src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1660994324224-e735f09ea37e?crop=entropy&amp;cs=tinysrgb&amp;fit=max&amp;fm=jpg&amp;ixid=M3wyNjI5NjF8MHwxfHNlYXJjaHwxMXx8c2lsZW50JTIwbWFqb3JpdHl8ZW58MHx8fHwxNjk2MDkxMDI5fDA&amp;ixlib=rb-4.0.3&amp;q=80&amp;w=1080" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9;"></figure> <h3>The Power of Collective Action</h3>With the newfound ability to connect and communicate, the silent majority has realized that their collective voice is far more powerful than any individual's. By joining forces, they can effect change, challenge the status quo, and shape public discourse. This has been evident in various social and political movements that have gained momentum in recent years.Take, for example, the #MeToo movement, which started as a small group of individuals sharing their personal stories of sexual harassment and assault. As more people came forward and shared their experiences, the movement grew exponentially, shedding light on the magnitude of the issue and demanding a change in societal norms.<figure id="figure-7eqq42m44aln68sobh"><img id="7eqq42m44aln68sobh" src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1494308022694-77f96ca3c1ae?crop=entropy&amp;cs=tinysrgb&amp;fit=max&amp;fm=jpg&amp;ixid=M3wyNjI5NjF8MHwxfHNlYXJjaHwxMXx8Y29sbGVjdGl2ZSUyMGFjdGlvbnxlbnwwfHx8fDE2OTYwOTEwMzB8MA&amp;ixlib=rb-4.0.3&amp;q=80&amp;w=1080" alt="collective action" class="object-cover bg-gray-100" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9;" data-mce-src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1494308022694-77f96ca3c1ae?crop=entropy&amp;cs=tinysrgb&amp;fit=max&amp;fm=jpg&amp;ixid=M3wyNjI5NjF8MHwxfHNlYXJjaHwxMXx8Y29sbGVjdGl2ZSUyMGFjdGlvbnxlbnwwfHx8fDE2OTYwOTEwMzB8MA&amp;ixlib=rb-4.0.3&amp;q=80&amp;w=1080" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9;"></figure><h3>Breaking the Echo Chamber</h3>One of the challenges faced by the silent majority is the tendency to be drowned out by the noise of the vocal minority. In an age where algorithms curate our online experiences, it is easy to get trapped in an echo chamber, where our beliefs are constantly reinforced and opposing viewpoints are silenced.However, the silent majority is breaking free from this echo chamber by actively seeking out diverse perspectives and engaging in meaningful conversations. They understand the importance of listening to different viewpoints, challenging their own beliefs, and fostering empathy and understanding.<figure id="figure-smi8tlbimtln68spn5"><img id="smi8tlbimtln68spn5" src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1549663369-22ac6b052faf?crop=entropy&amp;cs=tinysrgb&amp;fit=max&amp;fm=jpg&amp;ixid=M3wyNjI5NjF8MHwxfHNlYXJjaHwxN3x8YnJlYWtpbmclMjBlY2hvJTIwY2hhbWJlcnxlbnwwfHx8fDE2OTYwOTEwMzJ8MA&amp;ixlib=rb-4.0.3&amp;q=80&amp;w=1080" alt="breaking echo chamber" class="object-cover bg-gray-100" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9;" data-mce-src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1549663369-22ac6b052faf?crop=entropy&amp;cs=tinysrgb&amp;fit=max&amp;fm=jpg&amp;ixid=M3wyNjI5NjF8MHwxfHNlYXJjaHwxN3x8YnJlYWtpbmclMjBlY2hvJTIwY2hhbWJlcnxlbnwwfHx8fDE2OTYwOTEwMzJ8MA&amp;ixlib=rb-4.0.3&amp;q=80&amp;w=1080" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9;"></figure><h3>The Power of Authenticity</h3>One of the reasons why the silent majority is gaining traction is their authenticity. Unlike the vocal few who often resort to sensationalism and outrage to grab attention, the silent majority speaks from a place of genuine concern and lived experiences. This authenticity resonates with others, creating a ripple effect that amplifies their message.Moreover, the silent majority understands that change doesn't happen overnight. They are willing to put in the work, engage in constructive dialogue, and find common ground to drive meaningful progress. This approach not only garners respect but also fosters collaboration and problem-solving.<figure id="figure-064qbm5gtiln68sr14"><img id="064qbm5gtiln68sr14" src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1532971291849-92617bf94ded?crop=entropy&amp;cs=tinysrgb&amp;fit=max&amp;fm=jpg&amp;ixid=M3wyNjI5NjF8MHwxfHNlYXJjaHwxNHx8cG93ZXIlMjBvZiUyMGF1dGhlbnRpY2l0eXxlbnwwfHx8fDE2OTYwOTEwMzR8MA&amp;ixlib=rb-4.0.3&amp;q=80&amp;w=1080" alt="power of authenticity" class="object-cover bg-gray-100" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9;" data-mce-src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1532971291849-92617bf94ded?crop=entropy&amp;cs=tinysrgb&amp;fit=max&amp;fm=jpg&amp;ixid=M3wyNjI5NjF8MHwxfHNlYXJjaHwxNHx8cG93ZXIlMjBvZiUyMGF1dGhlbnRpY2l0eXxlbnwwfHx8fDE2OTYwOTEwMzR8MA&amp;ixlib=rb-4.0.3&amp;q=80&amp;w=1080" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9;"></figure><h3>A Catalyst for Positive Change</h3>The rise of the silent majority is a testament to the power of collective action, breaking free from echo chambers, and embracing authenticity. This group of individuals has the potential to be a catalyst for positive change, challenging the status quo, and shaping a more inclusive and equitable society.So, if you find yourself among the silent majority, know that your voice matters. Speak up, share your story, and join the conversation. Together, we can create a world where everyone's voice is heard and valued.<figure id="figure-oke4bdrbmuln68ss1d"><img id="oke4bdrbmuln68ss1d" src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1612565775767-97a9fffef857?crop=entropy&amp;cs=tinysrgb&amp;fit=max&amp;fm=jpg&amp;ixid=M3wyNjI5NjF8MHwxfHNlYXJjaHwzfHxwb3NpdGl2ZSUyMGNoYW5nZXxlbnwwfHx8fDE2OTYwOTEwMzV8MA&amp;ixlib=rb-4.0.3&amp;q=80&amp;w=1080" alt="positive change" class="object-cover bg-gray-100" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9;" data-mce-src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1612565775767-97a9fffef857?crop=entropy&amp;cs=tinysrgb&amp;fit=max&amp;fm=jpg&amp;ixid=M3wyNjI5NjF8MHwxfHNlYXJjaHwzfHxwb3NpdGl2ZSUyMGNoYW5nZXxlbnwwfHx8fDE2OTYwOTEwMzV8MA&amp;ixlib=rb-4.0.3&amp;q=80&amp;w=1080" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9;"></figure>

Peter Dawe Introduces WOTE

<h2>WOTE founders made the UK and European internet happen in the 1980s - we will make WOTE happen</h2>This testimonial piece was researched and written by the AI engine at Google BARD - and presented on this AI website creation platform from durable.co. AI can now replace many pen pushers and keyboard tappers to save money and provide better service.Coping with the AI challenge will be very much in focus at the time of the next General Election, and barely any of the present mostly techno illiterate occupants of Westminster barely have a clue what it means. They are too easily bamboozled by "advisers" and vested interests. Remember the wasted Covid billions... Peter Dawe&nbsp;played a key role in founding the commercial internet in the UK and Europe. In 1986, he founded&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unipalm" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-mce-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unipalm">Unipalm</a>, a company that provided networking services to businesses.In 1988, Unipalm launched&nbsp;Pipex, (Public&nbsp;IP Exhange) the UK's first commercial internet service provider (ISP). Pipex quickly became one of the most popular ISPs in the UK, and it helped to introduce the internet to businesses and consumers across the country. Dawe was also a co-founder of the Internet Service Providers' Association (ISPA), which is a trade association for ISPs in the UK.The ISPA has played a major role in promoting the growth of the internet in the UK, and it has also helped to protect the interests of consumers and businesses. In 1995, Dawe founded the Internet Watch Foundation (IWF), a non-profit organization that combats child sexual abuse content on the internet. The IWF is the UK's leading authority on child sexual abuse content, and it works with ISPs, law enforcement agencies, and other organizations to remove this content from the internet.Dawe has been awarded numerous accolades for his work in the internet industry, including an OBE from the Queen in 2001. He is a true pioneer of the internet, and his work has had a major impact on the way we live and work today. Dawe founded Unipalm, the UK's first commercial internet service provider (ISP).

It is a view, widely held in the UK, that those in power are not working in the interests of the general population. This view is now so strongly held, that many people are predicting or even demanding a “Revolution”. The Will of the Electorate Association (WOTE.uk) believes it has a vision for how they can be replaced, peacefully and perhaps more importantly not replaced with something the same or worse.The method is simple.To field a candidate MP in all 650 constituencies at the next general election.In order to ensure we do not replace politicians with politician, every WOTE candidate is required to sign a pledge that they will implement the Will of the Electorate even if it conflicts with their personal view. This pledge also enable candidates from even compass point of political opinion and thought to rally to the cause of removing the current structure. Candidates can be Blue, Red, Green, Purple, Black, Brown or Yellow! They are free to express and argue to the electorate their view, but once the electorate have expressed their view, the MP is honour bound to implement the Electorates view as efficiently, effectively and rapidly as possible, within the resources available.Offering every voter the opportunity to vote for a true representative, rather than the choice of dogmatic party MPs, would transform the election, from a beauty contest of who has the least worse proposals, to one which allows them to not only remove the cancer, but to replace it with a better system. At the very least this can be seen as a “None-of-the above” option on the ballot paperDiscovering the Will of the Electorate, will require thought and testing. First the Electorate must have access to whatever FACTS there are available on a matter.Second, Those with views on how these facts can be translated into policy must argue their case to the electorate. There will be a need to ensure there is no abuse of the truth here.Third, The electorate must be offered alternatives which are implementable. i.e. The costs and negative impacts must be included for the alternatives, as well as the benefits.Finally, The view of the electorate has to be taken. This may be by referendum, which is now economically feasible with very nearly everyone with a secure and personal ID’s mobile phone. However, other techniques, such as focus groups and longitudinal studies may be used.While the Will of the Electorate is being sought, The new government will be tasked to deliver the basic government services of security, justice and public goods that were the unfulfilled “promises” of the discredited. They will also seek to remove any “laws” that prevent these being delivered efficiently and effectively. In particular removing any laws that favour historically powerful.While WOTE does not have any policies, as a party we can offer policy areas for debate, and encourage novel approaches to delivering these services. For instance, a debate on equalising those who enjoyed free university education at the same level as those who have had to pay their own fees and maintenance.
