Referendum Movement
A successor, the Referendum Movement, was created by leaders of the party, including Lady Annabel Goldsmith, who was made the honorary president. This merged in January 1999 with the Euro Information Campaign, another pro-sterling, anti-Euro group funded by millionaire Paul Sykes. The merged group, the Democracy Movement, is not a party, but a pressure group. The first president was Lady Annabel. Robin Birley was chairman until 2004. Birley had also stood for election as a member of his stepfather's Referendum party.

Famous quotes containing the word movement:
“When delicate and feeling souls are separated, there is not a feature in the sky, not a movement of the elements, not an aspiration of the breeze, but hints some cause for a lover’s apprehension.”
—Richard Brinsley Sheridan (1751–1816)
