Charter88

Charter88 is the independent campaign for a modern and fair democracy. Their aim is reform of our system of government through political institutions that are just, open and accountable and a culture that protects individual rights, encourages responsibility, and values the participation of every citizen. Charter88 has no affiliation to any political party. The movement that it is today has grown from the original Charter, published in 1988 with 348 signatures. To date over 79,000 people have added their names. It costs nothing to sign Charter88. It is not a membership organisation and there is no subscription.

Although Charter88 Scotland's office in Edinburgh has closed there are still 4 flourishing local groups in Scotland.
