ResPublica
ResPublica (from the Latin phrase, res publica, meaning 'public thing' or 'commonwealth') is a British independent public policy think tank, founded in 2009, by Phillip Blond. It describes itself as a multi-disciplinary, non-party political research organisation, whose stated aim is the creation of bold solutions for enduring socioeconomic problems.
ResPublica claim its ideas are founded on the principles of a post-liberal vision of the future, which moves beyond the traditional political dichotomies of left and right, prioritising the common good.
David Cameron, then the Leader of the Opposition, spoke at ResPublica's launch in 2009 and, at that time, Blond was said to be a major influence on him.
Blond is Director of ResPublica. Until 2017, Max Wind-Cowie was Deputy Director for ResPublica North.
In 2011, ResPublica made staff redundant after financial troubles resulted in their inability to pay their rent for a time. Blond was later criticised in the media over claims he 'raided' the coffers of his own think tank to pursue a jet-set lifestyle.
ResPublica was operated by a company called The ResPublica Trust, which entered insolvent administration in February 2019. The assets were bought by The Respublica Partnership Limited in a pre-packaged insolvency.
ResPublica's report "To Buy, To Bid, To Build: Community Rights for an Asset Owning Democracy", launched on 15 November 2010, listed strategies for privatisating underperforming public sector built assets. 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.
As part of the report 'The Community Renewables Economy', ResPublica submitted evidence to the Energy and Climate Change Committee's Local Energy consultation, and to the Department of Energy and Climate Change's (DECC) Community Energy call for evidence.
