Its not all UKIP (thank goodness). Bottom up, local organisation, crowdsourcing - a bit like the Yes movement...? Podemos was the child of the indignados movement, a party that emphasises bottom-up democratic participation: where the indignados had neighbourhood assemblies, Podemos has “circles” that take similar forms. There are even circles among Britain’s Spanish diaspora in London and Manchester. The funding for its European campaign was largely crowdsourced, and its policies and priorities are decided partly through online voting. theguardian/commentisfree/2014/nov/16/podemos-left-crisis-ukip-anti-immigrant
