An Chomhdháil Phobail I The People’s Convention (CPPC) is a political party of the entire Irish electorate.
CPPC is a party of a new type. It is not a party with policies on all the issues of the day like all other parties heretofore.
The guiding principle of CPPC is that sovereignty in Ireland must rest with the people of Ireland and that all affairs of State must be subject to the will of and decision by the people without restriction.
The actual membership of CPPC is the electorate and through it we, as a people, will take power, exercise it and bring about the changes in the State administration and services that we deem necessary.

The heart is literally being ripped out of our communities and this affects the country as a whole. The Spectacle will be an act of Creative Resistance to the redundant policies of a redundant regime.
This day is United Nations International Day of Human Rights around the world and is an appropriate moment to mobilise. The Spectacle’s participative, imaginative and heartfelt approach will demonstrate that there is another way to a more equal and a more just Ireland. The Spectacle says STOP this madness of punishing ordinary people for the mistakes of others.”
