The Democrats and Veterans Direct Democracy Party (DVDDP) was a political party in the United Kingdom. The party was founded in 2018 by former UKIP member and Gulf War veteran Gavin Felton and other ex-servicemen of the British Armed Forces. John Rees-Evans, previously a UKIP leadership candidate, was announced as the first party leader, and Gavin Felton named as chairman.[4]
The party considers itself to be "broadly libertarian in character".[5] Its platform includes complete withdrawal from the European Union, direct democracy, and stronger support for veterans.[5]
