Democracy Movement - Definition and Overview

The Democracy Movement is a crossparty Eurosceptic pressure group in the UK with around 150 local branches. It grew out of the late James Goldsmith's Referendum Party in 1998 and originally campaigned against Britain entering Economic and Monetary Union with the Eurozone. It now concentrates on winning a 'NO' vote in the promised referendum by the British Government on the EU Constitution.

The DM is funded by donations from grassroots supporters although the Goldsmith family and the Eurosceptic businessman Paul Sykes have made large campaign donations in the past.
