Who and Why

• Why we exist – To provide a genuine alternative to the Lab/Lib/Con consensus of high taxes and huge spending. To offer a platform of radical self-empowerment and less government intervention. To reduce restrictions in the economy and public services, and enhance one’s freedom to choose, as well as to oppose prevailing so-called ‘identity politics’ and attacks on free speech.
• Who we are – Politically active ordinary citizens operating entirely within modest membership fees and small donations. Founding members based in Kent and are ex-members of major parties.

Mission Statement

“To defeat the stale, out-of-touch and self-interested mainstream political parties in elections throughout the country.

Foundation Party elected representatives will shape public policy around greater freedom, liberty and democracy.“

Flagship Policies

• New Constitution and Bill of Rights – A new constitutional settlement to ensure national sovereignty is never again transferred to overseas authorities without the proper consent of the people, to repair local democracy and to protect basic liberties such as freedom of speech.
• School Choice – Radical school reform where parents (rather than schools) are funded directly with school vouchers who are then free to choose which school to send their child, thus improving school access for poorer kids and improving school standards as a result of increased competition.
• Guaranteed Income – Replacing the benefits and Universal Credit system, an income-based welfare credit (known as a Negative Income Tax) via HMRC to the tune of a very basic salary – reduced as your earned income increases – is a simple system that eliminates inefficient bureaucracy and stress whilst tackling the ‘welfare trap’.
• Land Value Tax (LVT) – Taxing the value of land (not properties) becomes the country’s principal tax, abolishing nearly all other taxes. Land value increases over time thanks to the investment of the community. An LVT means taxing unearned wealth, rather than earned wealth.
• Self-Government / Brexit – ‘No’ to rejoining the European Union in favour of remaining a free, independent and self-governing nation (founding members were active ‘Leave’ campaigners).

If the political class and the people have disagreed on something as basic and fundamental as our national independence and right to govern ourselves, then what else do we disagree on?

Let’s come together, have an open conversation and explore new ideas for the betterment of our country.

I believe politicians are stuck in the last century. Just look at how we conduct much of our affairs today thanks to digital technology.

We need a modern emphasis on innovation and choice throughout our economy and public services.
