It started as London Citizens in 1996, and came to national prominence during the 2010 United Kingdom general election when all three leaders of the UK's three largest political parties addressed a large meeting of its members in what it billed as the "fourth debate", in reference to the three TV debates. The event was notable for Gordon Brown giving what was widely described as his best speech of the campaign. In September 2018, Matthew Bolton became the new Executive Director of Citizens UK after Neil Jameson CBE stepped down. (en)
