We will enhance your ability to choose
A modern society revolves around your choices rather than those of out of touch politicians

Life is better with choices
We each live very different lives with different desires, talents and ambitions. The person in the end who knows which decisions are best for you, is you.
It’s time for a completely new emphasis in British politics that is fit for the 21st century.
We believe the primary goal of politics is not to impose decisions on you, but to maximise your ability to make your own.
People can make better decisions for themselves
Too many of our politicians do not care about the thoughts and feelings of the people, only their own opinions and professional goals.
The people are spoken to like children, rarely trusted with raw debate, and their wisdom expressed in election results challenged. In the 21st century age of information it is an outdated elitist culture that is offensive and unhealthy.
Our mission is to turn the tables and restrain the power of Westminster. We want the citizen to take greater control of their lives and make more (and better) decisions for themselves.
Where choice is in short supply
And why radical change is urgent
War on Private Schools
Want to send your child to a private school? Labour MPs send theirs but don’t want you to have the same choice, preferring a government monopoly they control instead.
Democratic Votes Challenged
Vote for something the Establishment doesn’t like? Intolerant elitist politicians will lead a movement to subvert democracy.
TV Tax Whether You Watch the BBC or Not
Want to watch something other than the BBC? Doesn’t matter. You’ve no choice but to pay the TV licence fee so the BBC can get paid.
Lack of Basic Skills Limits Career Choice
Thanks to our education system, too many adults have very poor numeracy or literacy skills which undoubtedly holds their confidence and career back.
Free Speech Cancelled
Wish to express a contrary opinion? Be careful. Speech is strongly policed these days and the authorities decide what you can and cannot say.
High Council Tax Limits Your Spending
While the council wastes so much of our money, our council tax goes up and we have even less left over to spend in a way that we choose.
Sovereignty Signed Away Without Consent
Did you consent to such a powerful European Union? If the Establishment surrendered our independence without our consent once, in time, they can do it twice.
Positive Discrimination Murders Choice
Want to apply for that job? Misguided “Equality and Diversity” zealotry might mean that you cannot even apply, let alone attend an interview.
Trapped on Welfare, Life Choices Capped
We want to support those least well-off in society, but the present system is short-sighted as it traps people in poverty and in the end holds them and their potential back.
New Grammar Schools Banned
Would you consider sending your child to a grammar school near you? Mainstream parties do not want you to have that choice.
Voting System Means Tory-Labour Duopoly
Tired of the same tribal politics? Our last century voting system protects the old parties and puts new parties at an unhealthy disadvantage.
Nanny State Instead of Choice Doesn't Work
Sugar taxes don’t work. They raise the cost of living and hurt the poorest. Let’s treat people like adults, provide information and let people choose their own lifestyle.
Small and Medium Business Held Back
Are you free to invest your time inside your business as productively as you would like? Excessive regulation gives larger companies an unfair advantage.
Individual Privacy Violated
Do you choose to keep intimade details about your life private? Most of us do. Yet the Security Services exceed their authority and snoop unjustly into our lives.
Local Elections Make Little Difference
Do you feel that regardless as to who runs the council, nothing really changes? Too many decisions on local matters are made in Westminster rather than locally.
And many more examples that render you choiceless
Our Vision
A bottom-up society shaped by the choices, innovation and good judgement of the people, with overriding government power that is cautious in nature, limited and robustly held in check, because the people are the masters, not the servants, and the true source of our success.
Party Vision Statement
Our Mission
To challenge and unseat the tired parties of the establishment in local and general elections in as many constituencies as possible throughout the country, and to see principled Foundation Party members who believe in the empowerment of the people elected in their place.
Party Mission Statement
I believe in the wisdom and courage of the people, not the politicians, and today they have too much power while the people have too little.
Taxed to the hilt, over-regulated, our contrary opinions and referendum votes vilified, it’s high time we reined in the governing class and trusted the people to choose more freely and steer us all to a more inspiring place.

Leader of the Foundation Party
The Plan
For the Country
You should be free to choose how the country is governed.
We believe in independence and self-government so you can elect and un-elect those that make the laws that govern you.
Government spending and debt is out of control. Like any household, the country must live within its means. You should not pay for the irresponsibility of politicians.
For the Local Community
You should be free to choose how your community evolves.
Major decisions about your local area should not be made in Westminster. We have a plan for more local and tailored policy-making so you have your rightful say.
Above all you should feel safe. We must restore the visible police presence on our streets we once had.
For the Family
You should be free to choose what is best for your family.
We believe in the widest range and variety of school and college education, rejecting a state monopoly, so you the parent can freely choose the curriculum and environment for your children.
We want radical welfare reform to stop the trapping of people in poverty and free them to pursue a life on their own terms rather than on the government’s.
For the Individual
You should be free to exercise your inalienable civil liberties.
Never should you be persecuted, let alone prosecuted, for expressing a contrary opinion and risk causing offence. We believe in absolute freedom of speech.
We need a new voting system in order to strengthen the influence of your vote when choosing your representative.
I believe free speech and civilised debate is essential for improving our lives. Our political class have abandoned the values that made us a leading nation.
This is why we desperately need something new and principled like the Foundation Party.

Boris’ Brexit falls short, but at least we’re out
We who have campaigned hard for our right to national self-government can rightly feel a sense of liberation and victory. But is this the treaty I would have agreed to? No it is not.
Lockdowns unavoidable? This is a lie, and there is an alternative
The Government insists that locking down the country and smashing the economy is the only way we can live with the coronavirus. This is false. There is another way.
Lockdown must end now
While an initial lockdown to prevent the overwhelming of the NHS made sense, a continued lockdown does not.
The lockdown today is doing extremely little to tackle the virus and is instead succeeding in destroying businesses, jobs, and the livelihoods and mental health of millions of families.
COVID-19 does not effect everybody equally. It is a limited group comprising of the elderly and those with underlying health conditions who are especially vulnerable.
We should do everything we can to shield the vulnerable. But everybody else should be free to choose to either self-isolate or take the risk on a well-informed basis.

About Us
Founded by grassroots campaigners, we are working to establish a new political force offering a genuinely alternative way forward for the country for the consideration of the people.
With politics so detached from the people, we are pro-Brexit and want radically empowered citizens. We especially value and vow to fight for national self-government, freedom, liberty and democracy.
