<div><a href="https://reliance.vote" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Reliance </a>is a movement of regular people who've had enough of the two-party status quo in British politics. We are determined to fix this broken situation that serves the priorities of parties over the priorities of real people.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>From the epicentre of our political movement, in Birmingham, Reliance's aim is to stand as many independent candidates as we can in the coming UK General Election in 2024. </strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our key policy commitments that we're standing on for election include:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>Development of ethical foreign policy
</li>
<li>Enhancement of workers’ rights
</li>
<li>Improvement of health and social care delivery
</li>
<li>Raising education standards
</li>
<li>Ensuring better access to housing
</li>
<li>Enabling true community cohesion
</li>
<li>Putting peoples’ priorities first, and not the interests of parties
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Simply, commitments that actually serve real people and not the political gamesmanship of political parties.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For more detail about our policies and how Reliance will serve the interests of people, please visit our <a href="https://reliance.vote/policies" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Policies page on our website</a>.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Constituencies up and down the country are unique and distinct. And in this respect, the one-size-fits-all approach that imposes rigid national policies on every community in the land really doesn't serve the needs of people in their own neighbourhoods. </strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Crucial to how we will break the dominant parties top-down dictatorial model, so political representation is more responsive and bespoke to the needs of individual constituencies, is through genuinely local candidates.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Every Reliance candidate will have the knowledge, experience and connection to the constituency and community they serve. They will understand the pressures, problems and opportunities that present in these areas, and know how to deliver on them. </strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To enable Reliance to achieve this we have to start building the systems and infrastructure to fight a strong and competitive General Election campaign now!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Funds from this fundraiser will be used to support the General Election campaign costs of each of the three candidates up to a maximum of £17,000, which is the permissible amount under EU law. Any residual funds, after campaign costs have been covered, will then be used to support the registration of the Reliance Party with The Electoral Commission and party administration costs. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Confirmed candidates we will stand in the 2024 General Election:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>1.  Prof. Kamel Hawwash (Birmingham Selly Oak)</strong>
</div>
<div><strong>2. Dr. Ammar Waraich (Birmingham Edgbaston)</strong>
</div>
<div><strong>3. Shakeela Bibi (Dudley)</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With your kind support candidates will be able to:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>Train a strong and able cohort of prospective parliamentary candidates
</li>
<li>Develop campaign resources that will be deployed at both a local and national level
</li>
<li>Recruit an army of volunteers who will carry the campaign from now until polling day
</li>
<li>Purchase the assets and machinery needed to amply the Reliance message far and wide
</li>
<li>Meet the administrative requirements, which all UK political parties must adhere to
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
