Our values

Centrism

Centrism means using the best ideas from both the left and the right of the political spectrum. Its why we support better public services and a strong economy.

Working together

We work with people and organisations from across political  and party lines to get things done.

The Nordic model

We want the UK to learn from the Nordic countries. These countries all have high spending on public services, free markets, highly democratic governments and equal societies.

A vision for the future of centrism

Our vision is for a stronger and greener economy alongside well-funded public services which can support people when they need it. We want to give everyone the opportunity to succeed whilst ensuring the government helps those who need it most.

This is why we support more money for public services, cutting red tape for businesses, creating a simpler tax system, real action on climate change and a simplified welfare system.

  • Former Labour Party Leader, Leader of the Opposition and Centre supporter

    Lord Neil Kinnock

    "Centre prizes and encourages discernment-the oxygen of democracy. That doesn’t get in the way of principles, but it does foster analysis and practicality. More please!"

  • Former First Minister of Wales

    Carwyn Jones

    “At a time when the need for fairness, justice and opportunity across the world has never been greater, it’s hugely important to have organisations that can generate solutions to help resolve the crises that the world is facing. Centre Think Tank provides an opportunity to pool ideas that can gain the greater possible support as we face these challenges together.”

  • Member of Parliament and former Minister

    Tracey Crouch MP

    "I'm grateful to you guys and to everyone banging the drum for centre politics. I think the ground is very fertile and we do better when we come together on these issues and forge consensus".

  • London Borough Councillor

    Cllr Asma Islam

    "I joined as a supporter because Centre reflects my core values. They support a strong welfare state and support for small businesses, both things I agree with. Centre has also put forwards a plan to build a better Britain by learning lessons from the Nordic countries. They are countries which show equality leads to opportunities and that economic growth can go hand in hand with supporting those who need it".

  • Former Member of Parliament, former Director of the Institute for Fiscal Studies and Centre Supporter

    Lord Dick Taverne

    "I think that Centre Think Tank is where a lot of us should be. After all Social Democrats and Liberals meet in the Centre but we do also welcome those from other parties. I think it is a very good idea to have a centrist think tank".

  • Leader of the True and Fair Party, Co-Founder of SCM Direct and Centre supporter

    Gina Miller

    "Our paper with Centre Think Tank was pragmatic. What we talked about was strengthening some of the protections against loopholes including on transparency for offshore trusts and tackling the non-dom status but creating a tiered system where people can actually pay in at different levels depending on how long they have been in the UK. This is much more pragmatic than a one size fits all or a black and white solution. The actual conclusions of our report were astonishing".

  • Former Member of Parliament for Eastbourne and Centre supporter

    Stephen Lloyd former MP

    "As a social liberal and economically right of centre, the most appropriate description of my political positioning would be Centrist. Centre Think Tank encapsulates these ideological positions as well as challenging me on others. Exactly what I want from a policy research group”.
