Dear Russell.
In five months time the people of the UK will go to the polling booths. They will cast their votes and get a false sense that they are participating in some sort of democratic process. We believe that no matter who gets voted in the same policies that favour the 1% will be brought forward and implemented at the expense of the 99%.
For many years we have refused to engage in this corrupt process. You could argue that in this respect we have been without a voice. We agree with you when you say that people shouldn't vote until there is something worth voting for. It doesn’t matter if Labour wins this election, we believe in a number of years there is a more than a strong possibility we will be marching against more Labour illegal wars and so called austerity cuts.
We want change, not a new shop front but a wholesale change of the system. Its broken. How do we get our voices heard? Up until this point you have done an amazing job. Considering that you are not a professional lefty. We need to find a way for us all to have a voice. How can we do that?
Over time people have asked you to stand for Parliament, in the past and present this has been used as a stick to beat you with, last night you said that you would not want to stand for Parliament because you didn’t want to become 'one of them'. We agree, so this is our proposal. We would like to see you use you the resources at your disposal and begin to set up a process where we can lodge our opposition to this shabby pantomime. Ideas that come to mind or a parallel referendum or a website to record the fact that we have refused to vote or spoiled our ballots. A website where people can say what constituency they are from, and what they would vote for.
We need to measure the anger of the working classes in actual numbers. We believe this would give you a mandate to carry on challenging the system.
We wish you well in your struggle

Dear Sir or Madam,
Thank you for taking the time to read this letter. I am writing due to the frustration I feel at not being able break down the self imposed barriers groups such as yours place upon themselves.
WE WILL NOT AFFILIATE TO ANY POLITICAL PARTY.
So how do you have a voice?
You are fighting a cause and doing an admirable job. But all your are doing is attacking the symptoms of the cause, and not the cause itself. A massive waste of time and resources as every time you tackle one problem, there is another one right around the corner, due to us always answering to capitalist 'money first' governments. With a political voice, you could be the cure and stop these constant social and environmental atrocities from taking place in the UK for good.
No change will ever happen, so long as the various groups have their own singular voices. Not ever. We need an alternative party that includes members from all the groups. To give all the groups an equal voice at the highest level.
Unlike other parties, Unitus would be a leaderless party, where concensus and common ground remain the underlying principle to drive all things forward. People first at all times, and the profit the economy needs to grow will come as a result of looking after people, not in spite of it as is the case now. There will be no majority votes where by the minority are ignored. We will talk until common ground can be found.
By staying out of the political arena, we are directly allowing these governmental attrocities against the people and environment, to take place. We are complicit in their actions.
The government currently have 4 non elected MPs in the conservative Treasury who work for or own Fracking companies. How many do you have? Where is your voice?
The time to clean up after their mess has gone.
The time for staying quiet is over.
The civil liberty of peaceful protest is slowly but surely becoming illegal (in parts of America and closer to home, in Spain). It is a matter of time until the UK jump on board. Without peaceful protest our last voice of change will be taken away, if we do not move in to the political arena and take the causes to the government themselves. We need to change the decisions being made, not simply clean up after bad decisions like in the past. We need a party who will not be corrupted by greed and power. Who will put the people first and never move away from that underlying principle. But so long as groups such as yours decides to sit on the fence, change will never happen, and nothing will ever change.
This is a tipping point. We are either part of the problem, or part of the solution. We are still free to choose.
Kindest Regards.
Shay Brightman. Unitus Spokesperson.
