Common Purpose (UK)

Common Purpose, or CP, is a UK-based educational charity that focuses on providing personal development and networking for potential future leaders. Businesses and organisations typically pay to send individuals on leadership courses costing up to as much as £5,750.

To various conspiracy theorists, such as The British Constitution Group, Brian Gerrish, John Harris and other cranks, Common Purpose is the new Illuminati - a nefarious shadowy organisation dedicated to exerting its politically correct pro EU agenda on the rest of us. Common Purpose is dedicated to undermining democracy by quietly installing a network of elite trained stooges in powerful positions across government. According to these people, Common Purpose intends to 'Create a political and social paradigm shift in the UK' to further the agenda of an EU superstate.
