Getup

Is this a word of the day or just a post? I heard a spokesperson for Getup on the radio this morning. Getup aims to "bring participation back into our democracy" and its members "use the latest online tools to act on important issues facing the country." It claims to have more members than all the political parties put together - not that difficult. It claims to be at the "progressive" end of politics, and also "independent" and otherwise apolitical. Have a look.
