    Legal Status

    Cannabis Law Reform (CLEAR) is a political party registered with the Electoral Commission under the Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act 2000 (PPERA).   We are registered on the Great Britain register for England, Scotland and Wales and on the Northern Ireland register.  We have declared that we intend to contest UK general elections and also the combined region of the South West and Gibraltar at European Parliamentary elections.

    For the purposes of the PPERA, Peter Reynolds is the party leader and nominating officer, Mark Palmer is the party treasurer.

    CLEAR has adopted the Electoral Commission’s model financial scheme which demonstrates how we will comply with the legal requirements of party and election finances under PPERA.  The CLEAR financial scheme is reproduced in full here.

    Equal Opportunities

    We believe it is essential to CLEAR’s principles, productivity,  and efficacy to enable activists of all backgrounds to reach their  full potential by encouraging an environment that is inclusive to all. To this end, and within the framework and spirit of the law, we are committed to achieving and maintaining a support and activist  base which broadly reflects the community at large.

    CLEAR whole-heartedly supports the principle of equal opportunities and opposes all forms of unlawful or unfair  discrimination on the grounds of colour, race, nationality, ethnic or national origin, sex, disability, age, religious belief, sexual  orientation or marital status. We welcome people who support cannabis law reform from whatever cultural, ethnic or political backgrounds, be they cannabis users or not.

    We believe that it is in CLEAR’s best interests and of all those who work as part of it, to attract, retain and develop a diverse  pool of activists and supporters. Every possible step will be taken to ensure that individuals are treated equally and fairly, and members are invited to raise concerns with us if they feel an infringement to this policy has been made. Members found to be in violation of the CLEAR equal opportunities policy will face suspension and ultimately expulsion form the party.
