For me, participating in the political process isn't about winning, it's about the excitement of having taken part and about getting my ideas across to the public

The Common Good is a small Christian political party in the United Kingdom.[2] Founded and led by Richard (Dick) Rodgers, a clergyman and orthopaedic registrar living in Northfield, Birmingham, the party's principles are based on his Christian faith.[3]
Rodgers has competed in several elections for Common Good, including various parliamentary by-elections. In all cases Common Good have lost their deposit. No one else has been an election candidate for the party.
In 2016, the party campaigned for the United Kingdom to remain in the European Union during the Brexit referendum.[4]
