In United Kingdom politics, the New Politics Network (NPN) was an independent political and campaigning think tank, concerned specifically with issues relating to democratic renewal and popular participation in politics.
The NPN was established in 2000 following the winding up of Democratic Left, the legal successor organisation to the former Communist Party of Great Britain. The NPN worked with a wide range of groups and individuals to provide a forum to look at emerging ideas in society. Its stated goal was to provide an independent and innovative debate on the future of politics. It organised Tacticalvoter.net during the 2001 General Election, although it was not involved with the 2005 campaign of the same name.
In November 2007 the NPN merged with Charter 88 to form a new campaigning group, Unlock Democracy.
