Welcome to the official website for the Reform Party across the constituencies of Bournemouth East, Bournemouth West, Christchurch & Poole. Here you can find details of Policies, Local Branches and how to get involved.
As we now rapidly start to launch our branches across Dorset, four in the next month alone, we are turning our focus to the Bournemouth Area and the constituencies of Bournemouth East and West. We will be holding a meeting on the 26th of November at the Kinson Hall to meet with members and supporters to discuss the next steps for the Bournemouth Area. This meeting is specifically for anyone who...
Our Contract is not just another party manifesto. It sets out the reforms that Britain needs in the first 100 days following a general election and thereafter. It has been produced with advice from a range of independent economists, think tanks and advisors on savings and costings. Your can click the links below to find detailed information about these policies (issued as a working draft document...
As a nation we have so much potential, so much that we should be optimistic about. We can make Britain great again. To do this, reform is essential in the way our country is run and managed, so it works properly for the people. In many areas, just the application of basic common sense would be a good start! The nation faces many challenges, but we can overcome them. To succeed, we need to do...
The Government has increased taxes to the highest level in 70 years with more taxes to come. Medium-term growth is expected to be the lowest for 60 years.

The NHS is possibly the most loved healthcare system in the world. Being free at the point of delivery is at its core and must always continue.

Let’s be ambitious: we should aim for zero waiting...
On Education, let’s invest more wisely in young people: university students are being ripped off with high fees often for just online learning. Many degree courses could be done in 2 years not 3 years, which would save students many thousands of pounds. We would scrap interest rates on student loans and extend the capital repayment period, which will improve the debt recovery rate. We would...
We must adopt a zero tolerance approach to crime and antisocial behaviour. This starts at the ground level. Common sense dictates more police on the streets will help prevent crime and help catch criminals. Increase police numbers in the community, with officers on the beat, engaging with the local people. Ensure there is more visible policing with a focus on combating violent crime, robbery and...
The United Kingdom has a long tradition of some of the finest, best trained and bravest Armed Forces in the world. We must ensure this continues in the face of ever changing threats, as shown by the war in Ukraine, the energy war and cyber warfare to name but a few. It is vital that our Armed Forces have the people, training and best equipment to achieve this. Reform is needed to ensure more...
