A political party beyond left and right.
A workshop in which the future of Britain is being built.
A partnership of the able.
Maybe you hate politics.
Maybe you think you think ordinary people could govern better than politicians do.
We think you're right.
That's what Progress is - a party full of ordinary people, doing extraordinary things.
About Progress
Not too long ago…
…a group of people – software engineers, AI scientists, founders of successful companies, megaproject managers, university professors, healthcare specialists – came together united by three common and uncontroversial beliefs.
That Britain, one of the finest and most successful states ever to rise from the earth, was and is in terminal decline.
That this decline can be stopped, for Britain to move on to a level of success and stability beyond even what it has known historically.
And that this decline must be stopped.
Guided by these common beliefs, and being utterly unwilling to leave their fulfilment to chance, we put our hands together and formed the Progress party.
Progress is a party formed of and propelled by able, normal people with great records in building things and an intense contempt for generations of Westminster misgovernment.
Our platform is simple, oriented around our vision of A Kingdom United.
Economically, we believe in a Britain whose growth is propelled by cutting edge technology and high creativity. We believe in monumental reindustrialisation. We believe in a focus on skills and training for all, to create tracks to prosperity for everyone.
Socially, we believe that it should be the right of all people to walk down the street at night without fear of harm. We believe in a stance on white collar crime that is as firm as our stance on violent and petty crime. We believe in a multiracial monoculture, a nation defined not by cursory differences as abide between us, but by shared celebration of the classically British values that made this country the freest, fairest, and most successful in the world.
And we believe above all in a state that serves its citizens. In courts that serve the interests of the law-abiding, not the criminal. In a civil service that is lean, cost-effective and hyper-productive. In a crown jewel health service that provides for its people whenever they need it. In a political class that isn't bothered about the political left or the political right, but is defined only by its will, its skill, and its willingness to serve.
We are a party devoted to bringing about the glory of our name: Progress, for one and all. A party that believes in the heroism, rationality, and beauty of human beings. In the greatness of Britain, and of the British people. In the magnificence of our Common Law, which forms the heart of every constitution held close to the chests of all of the freest, most successful countries in the world.
A party that believes in the credo of "Always Better Today Than Yesterday."
A party that believes in its own almost-impossible mission – to win its first election not five years after being formed. It is a fundamentally unreasonable aim, but these are unreasonable times. The service of the people of Britain cannot wait any longer. And just as we believe that the answers to the questions facing the British people are within them, so do we believe that it is within us.
That, like all good things however unlikely, It Can Be Done.
Be a Part of Progress
Britain will perish in decline unless people just like you decide that they will not have it happen. If you love your country, if you are desperate to see its fortunes improve, if you wish to create a great national inheritance to leave to all those who come after you, join us.
We will provide you with regular email updates about Progress' progress, with information about how to get involved.
