ResPublica (from the Latin phrase, res publica meaning 'public thing') is a British independent public policy think tank, founded in 2009 by Phillip Blond.[1][2] It describes itself as a multi-disciplinary, non party-political research organisation, whose aim is to create bold solutions to enduring social and economic problems.[3]
ResPublica states it has 5 advisory board members, 3 of whom are the MPs Greg Clark, Zac Goldsmith, and John Hayes.[4] The others are Anthony Browne and James Forsyth (political editor of The Spectator).[4] ResPublica lists Chris White MP as an advisor.[4]
Recommendations from ResPublica's first publication, 'The Ownership State', were adopted[citation needed] by both Conservative and Labour parties in the run up to the United Kingdom elections of 2010.[citation needed]
ResPublica has been an advocate of voting reform for the United Kingdom.[citation needed] In 2010, ResPublica Director Phillip Blond, writing with Professor John Milbank of Nottingham University, created controversy[citation needed] by criticising the historical approach of the political left to inequality.
ResPublica's report "To Buy, To Bid, To Build: Community Rights for an Asset Owning Democracy", launched on 15 November 2010, listed strategies for privatising under-performing public sector built assets. [5] [6] [7] Greg Clark MP, Minister of State for Decentralisation at the Department for Communities and Local Government, spoke at the launch, which was hosted at NESTA with the support of the Development Trusts Association.[5]
