The term implies that the creation of the movement and the group supporting it are natural and spontaneous, highlighting the differences between this and a movement that is orchestrated by traditional power structures. Grassroots movements are often at the local level, as many volunteers in the community give their time to support the local party, which can lead to helping the national party. For instance, a grassroots movement can lead to significant voter registration for a political party, which in turn helps the state and national parties.

Merge from Grassroots discuss Talk Grassroots democracy Merge discussion date June 2010 Democracy Grassroots democracy is a tendency towards designing politics political processes where as much decision making authority as practical is shifted to the organization s lowest geographic level of organization principle of subsidiarity . Clarifyme date February 2009 To cite a specific hypothetical example, a national grassroots organization would place as much decision making power as possible in the hands of a local chapter instead of the head office. The principle is that for democracy democratic power to be best exercised it must be vested in a local community instead of isolated, atomized individuals, essentially making it the opposite of national supremacy . As such, grassroots organizations exist in contrast to so called Participatory democracy participatory systems , which tend to allow individuals equal access to decision making irrespective of their standing in a local community, or which particular community they reside in. As well, grassroots systems also differ from republic representative systems that allow local communities or national memberships to elect representatives who then go on to make decisions. The difference between the three systems comes down to where they rest on two different axes the rootedness in a community i.e. grassroots versus national or international and the ability of all individuals to participate in the decision making process i.e. participatory versus representative.

Private talks with trades union representatives to build a broader base had failed on union demands and this initiated the inclusion of a much broader Left group from the grassroots , including Labour Left Briefing and the Editor of Tribune magazine Tribune , Mark Seddon .
