 This initiative was not associated with any political party although politicians and citizens of all political persuasions were invited to participate, and this has remained true of all UKCOD's projects.UKCOD’s first project, commissioned by the EU office of the European Parliament, was to host and manage an online discussion on whether Britain should join the European Monetary Union.UKCOD was also heavily involved in research work contributing to the Freedom of Information Act 2000, including the Have Your Say website.
