Vapers In Power is a registered political party.

[blaze]

Some of you may remember UKVIP from a few months ago – well its now called Vapers In Power and is an actual, official, registered political party!

The website can be found at www.vapersinpower.co.uk where you will find bios of myself (Liam Bryan – Bristol candidate), our Party Leader (Matthew James), our Chair (Jessica Harding), our Strategy Adviser (Peter Gill), our Treasurer (Garry Dibley) and our Barnsley candidate (Russell VR Ord).

We have gone through the hoops of registering so that we will exist as a body which can talk about vapourisers in the media (and directly to the electorate) if the worst of the TPD comes to pass.

We're not thinking we can get elected – personally I think the political system is broken, and anyway I'm not even sure a single-issue party should get elected – we exist to take advantage of the freedom of expression afforded to political parties.

We've got this far thanks to donations from Vapers but we're not asking for donations now, in fact we messed up last time people donated because we hadn't thought it through properly and hadn't set up a proper bank account. We've learnt our lesson though and this time we're trying to do things properly – hence we're also registered with the public register of data controllers (reg no A8004359).

You can “Stay Informed” via the button on our website, and we'll keep you up-to-date.

Our plans are to field candidates in the May elections and use the opportunity that provides to promote vaping. There have been some very positive moves recently but the future of vaping is still very much up for grabs.

Thanks for reading, if you have any questions, well, you know what to do!

Thank you very much for all the messages of support, its been a genuine relief to find that our mad-cap idea is appreciated, hopefully we can be a part of getting the vaping message out there. If anyone is interested, we have a facbook group for discussion of possible ideas relating to the party - all welcome!
