KEYNOTE SPEAKER : SIR PAUL JUDGE, founder JuryTeam
Sir Paul Judge formulated the idea of a new kind of political movement: one based on the principles of good governance and transparency. The Jury Team is the fruition of this ideas and was launched on 16th March 2009.

Based in London he is currently the Chairman of Schroder Income Growth Fund plc, a Director of ENRC plc, as well as being a member of the board of the Higher Education Funding Council for England and of the United Kingdom Accreditation Service.

He is also a Member of the Advisory Boards for the UK-India Business Council, for HEC in Paris and for the Athens University of Economics and Business, a Member of the Council of the Crown Agents and a Senior Adviser at the Royal Institute of International Affairs at Chatham House. He has honorary degrees from Cambridge, Westminster and City universities.

ABOUT THE JURY TEAM
The Jury Team is the idea of a new kind of political movement: one based on the principles of good governance and transparency. The Jury Team launched on 16th March 2009 with the aim of cleaning up politics. The need for this has been reinforced by the current spate of political sleaze stories, which have highlighted the grip of the existing parties on British politics. The Jury Team pledges to break this grip by electing a new set of independently minded real people into Parliament.

It is the Jury Team's aim that by using modern technology we can restore proper democracy and integrity to our democratic institutions by allowing people, selected openly by their fellow citizens, to become Independent MPs and MEPs. The time is right to change this establishment: a new dawn in UK politics is needed, and Parliament must reassert its ancient right to scrutinise the government and hold it to account.

The name of the movement alludes to the basic idea of the party: Juries made up of regular people are able to make decisions about difficult problems; their lack of vested interests is paramount. A jury allows people to choose between two competing arguments, often with profound impacts on people's lives, and the Jury Team believes that independent people in Parliament would be able to choose between political alternatives.


NOTE: There will be a booksigning following the reception and discussion by Sir Paul Judge.
