Milestones

Create a new legal designation for political parties to prevent them from acting as corporations.

We think creating a new legal designation for political parties would promote transparency in politics. Additionally, we think it could foster a change in mindset: from political organisations fixated on their own goals to those dedicated to public service, as originally intended. Ultimately, we think this change could help build public trust in politics.
