Our core missions focus on rebuilding the political centre ground, creating evidence-based policies that work in practice, and promoting moderate, pragmatic solutions that unite rather than divide. These missions guide all of our policies. Our core missions are:
- Delivering world-leading public services
- Backing businesses to grow our economy
- Creating a fairer society
- Fixing our broken politics
- Building the foundations for a better future
Policies
Education
Education should be about improve the life chances of students and providing skills for the workforce of tomorrow. Just like Finland, our system should nurture creativity and ensure students can access an equally good quality of education.
Economy
We want to grow the economy, to support businesses, to create more jobs and to give workers more power in businesses. This means reducing regulation, a simple taxation system and handing workers more power.
Health
We want to protect the NHS and to expand the services it delivers to include mental and physical health along with social care. This is alongside modernisation of NHS services and an increase in funding.
Environment
We want to save our planet and to protect our environment. This means we want to make it advantageous for businesses to be environmentally friendly and the government should invest in renewables.
Equality
We believe that everyone should have an equal opportunity to succeed in life and that we can tackle these inequalities. This includes for women, ethnic minority, LGBTQ+ people and all other minority individuals.
Democracy
We support a more accountable, democratic and transparent government where power is held closer to individuals.
Social Security
We support a simple social security system to ensure more people who need help from the government receive it. The system should ensure no-one falls below the poverty line whilst also reducing the costs the existing system spends on administration.
Housing
There is an urgent need for new houses in the UK with high levels of homelessness and unaffordable housing. We believe the government needs to focus on increasing the number of houses available and fight against rising levels of homelessness.
Transport
We need significant upgrades to both our rail and road infrastructure so traveling long distances is easier. This will both help with moving towards greener transport and connecting up businesses.
Foreign affairs
We support the UK being an outward looking country that supports free trade and globalisation. This means strengthening the United Nations, signing new free trade deals and joining the European Free Trade Association.
Justice
The justice system in the UK needs to be based off a system of reforming prisoners and helping them to move away from crime. The focus here is on reducing the number of people reoffending. We also seek to reduce the disadvantages people may face due to their background.
Culture, Media and Sport
The UK needs an open and accountable media. We also need to ensure internet users have more power over their personal information and that we deal with large dominant media companies that have too much control over the media.
Community
Whilst the pandemic has isolated people, we need to ensure that once the pandemic is over, we try to bring communities back together. This means helping to create stronger and more connected local communities where people have places to meet up and get to know each other.
Technology
Technology, including Artificial Intelligence and Automation, can improve public services and the economy. We want to use technology more widely within public services whilst ensuring the government only runs transparent and secure systems.
Education
Education should be about improve the life chances of students and providing skills for the workforce of tomorrow. Just like Finland, our system should nurture creativity and ensure students can access an equally good quality of education.
