The Taking the Initiative Party (TTIP) is a British political party emerging from the Black Lives Matter movement.[4] It was formed in 2016 by Charles Gordon,[5] and was registered with the Electoral Commission in October 2017.[6][7][8][9]
Charles Gordon, a founding member of TTIP, said: 'We are very disappointed with the recent response from the government in relation to the register'.
The TTIP, formed in 2016 to set the agenda in government, wants to field at least 32 candidates for Croydon in the 2022 local council elections, with at least 15 candidates in other wards, such as Lewisham.
The party was registered with the electoral commission almost four years ago, but saw its national presence rise against the backdrop of the Black Lives Matter protests last summer.
