About the Peoples Party
Hope is not enough. It’s our starting point.
Britain is a great country let down by failed politics. Decades of tinkering, broken promises, and managed decline have betrayed a generation.
We are a progressive movement built for the twenty-first century — unashamedly forward-looking, unashamedly ambitious. Our politics begins with a simple conviction: when young people succeed, Britain succeeds. Too long have their futures been mortgaged to short-term thinking. We will change that.
Real transformation demands more than policy tweaks at the margins. Britain needs a revolution — in education, health, housing, public finances, and the very culture of government itself. Excellence is not optional; incompetence is deplorable. We will root out the corruption of low expectations and replace it with outcomes that actually deliver first class public services.
Our programme is not for the faint-hearted. It is for those who genuinely believe that Britain can be the best place in the world to live, work, and grow up. It is for those who dare to vote for something better.
We don’t just talk about hope. We are building it — policy by policy, person by person, vote by vote.
This is your revolution. Join us.
The Peoples Party is for everyone.
Whether you vote Labour, Conservative, Liberal Democrat, Green or are thinking of Reform UK, the Peoples Party is for you.
In the past, like so many people you may have voted without enthusiasm but because your choice was “less bad” than an alternative. Even if you are a committed supporter, you will, no doubt, have become disenchanted with the way your party is drifting from your ideals.
We will also reach out to the 40% of the electorate who, fed up with the choices offered by the main parties, see little point in voting at all.
Why you should vote for us if you previously voted:
Labour – we will make public services excellent, doubling education spending, deliver truly world class integrated health care, build millions of affordable homes, support trade unions and will scrap nuclear weapons
Conservative – we will actually cut taxes, slash bureaucracy and free business to do what it does best; we will stop criminals from reoffending, tackle the welfare culture, and focus on increasing prosperity for all
Liberal Democrat– we will rejoin the European Union, devolve power down to local areas and reform Britain’s institutions. We are internationalists and believe in liberty, equality, tolerance and democracy
Green – we will deliver the green transformation by electrifying our economy and tackling pollution. We will work with our “enemies” to deliver the peace and security we all want
Reform UK – we will transform Britain, stop illegal immigration and remove woke culture. We will not take Britain back to the 1970s but forward, making it great again
Q&A with Chris Prior
Realistically, what chance have you got given the first past the post system?
Very good. The current success of Reform UK, a party with no solutions to Britain’s problems, led by a man who has betrayed his country with Brexit, shows how desperate people are for change. The fracturing of the two-party system gives us a real opportunity, if we can raise sufficient funds to fight a successful campaign. We aim to win a majority in the House of Commons. Many traditionally Labour, Conservative, and Liberal Democrat voters prefer our policies. We also appeal to young people who are disillusioned, have no political allegiance and would otherwise not vote.
How many candidates do you expect to field at the general election?
We will have a candidate in each parliamentary seat.
How are you funded?
We must raise as much money as possible from small and large donations. Funding is the key challenge; the more money we can raise, the stronger our campaign will be. Winning elections is expensive; we must fight a professional campaign in the years and months before a general election to succeed.
Why aren’t you standing in by-elections?
We would if we had the cash! The reality is that fighting a winning by-election campaign requires £100,000 plus, which is money we don’t currently have.
What is your background?
I have worked in both central and local government, at the highest and lowest levels. I have also worked for leading private sector companies and run my own business. I went to Exeter University. In addition to “Revolution,” in “Competitive Government,” I outline my new philosophy of government, demonstrating how modern government can deliver first class public services that add real value and are continually improved to ensure excellence. In “Fear, the Fatal Flaw”, I examine the underlying weakness of authoritarian regimes, looking at Russia and China in the context of Machiavelli’s famous maxim and the threat they face from truth-telling AI. Mastering the fatal flaw is key to reshaping the world order. I am a passionate advocate for the elimination of the threat to civilization of nuclear weapons and see 2040 as a realistic target to make this happen. I want to establish “The Global Treaty Organization”, which will include NATO, Russia, and China, as well as countries such as India and Brazil. As I argue in “Declaring War, the Ultimate Betrayal”, we must tackle the manufactured animosity between peoples and mimic many of the democratic declarations of war – declare peace, and find a way of winning it.
Why the Peoples Party?
None of the mainstream political parties has the ambition to deliver the real change our country needs to thrive in the modern world. Despite the rhetoric, the Labour government’s “more of the same” approach is a disaster for the British people. We can do much better if only we dare to embrace radical change. Margaret Thatcher and Tony Blair scratched the surface, but we need to be a lot bolder if we are to achieve the transformation our country needs. The disasters of the last decade, culminating in Brexit, Boris Johnson, Liz Truss, Rishi Sunak, and now Sir Keir, illustrate how far we have to go to put things right.
Why no apostrophe?
Good question. The simple answer is that domain names don’t allow apostrophes. We thought not having one would make it easier for people to find our website. The more nuanced answer is that we believe the crux of our political philosophy is universal, it applies not just to the British people but to all peoples. People have very similar aspirations – education, health, reducing pollution, prosperity, and progress. Across countries, we must find the most effective ways to achieve results, and it’s crucial, in the process, that we avoid blowing ourselves up through miscalculation or accident. The Peoples Party while currently focused on the UK is an international political party, an “ideology” that will replicate in countries world
Our values
Underpinning our progressive agenda and desire for radical change is a strong belief in and support for traditional British values. We are proud of our country, its history, culture and ethos – we believe in Great Britain and want it to be greater still. We believe in decency, honesty, and fair play, as well as the quintessential qualities of courage, risk-taking, self-discipline, stoicism, hard work, humility, duty, trust, loyalty, integrity, pluralism, tolerance, forgiveness, self-sacrifice, respect, and leadership, which epitomise the British spirit.
For us, real patriotism is about more than posing in front of a few Union Jacks; it is about living and breathing British values in everyday life and doing the right thing. You cannot stand for Britain if you lie in your private and public life. We deplore the sham patriotism of those who put themselves and their career before doing what is best for the British people.
Our mission is to ensure everyone has the best possible opportunities to succeed and thrive in the world.
