Reform UK

Reform UK is a right-wing populist political party in the United Kingdom. Nigel Farage has been Leader of Reform UK since 2024. It has four members of Parliament (MPs) in the House of Commons, one member of the London Assembly, one member of the Senedd and one Police and crime commissioner. The party also controls twelve local councils. Co-founded by Farage and Catherine Blaiklock in 2018 as the Brexit Party, advocating a no-deal Brexit, it won the most seats at the 2019 European Parliament election in the UK, but won no seats at the 2019 general election. Since 2022, the party has campaigned on a broader platform, pledging to limit immigration, reduce taxation and opposing net-zero emissions. The party is considered to sit on the right-wing of the political spectrum, generally to the right of the Conservatives. Farage, who previously owned 60 per cent of Reform UK Party Ltd, had been the leader of the UK Independence Party (UKIP), a right-wing populist and Eurosceptic party, in the first half of the 2010s, and returned to frontline politics as the leader of the Brexit Party after the 2016 EU referendum, which had been called partly in response to UKIP's influence. The party won 29 seats at the May 2019 European Parliament election, the best result for any single party in the ninth European Parliament. The Brexit Party campaigned for a no-deal Brexit, and there were high-profile defections to it from the Conservative Party. The UK withdrew from the European Union (EU) in January 2020, later in the same year the COVID-19 pandemic began in the UK in 2020. The Conservative government imposed a series of national lockdowns and Farage focused on anti-lockdown campaigning. The party formally changed its name to Reform UK in January 2021. Farage stepped down as leader in 2021 and was succeeded by Tice. In 2024, Lee Anderson, who was elected in 2019 as a Conservative MP, defected to Reform UK, becoming its first MP. On 3 June 2024 Tice announced that Farage would become leader once more, with Tice continuing as chairman. It won five seats at the 2024 general election – the first time that Reform UK had MPs elected to the House of Commons.

  Strategic Approach 1 Overarching Reform Initiatives. Here we examine reforms that affect the broader governance systems of the federal government and its organization. Examples include the Reinventing Government reform initiative in the 1990s which included the creation of agency chief operating officers and the President’s Management Council, and more recent initiatives to reorganize various federal agencies. Some worked well; others less so. [...] In each of the four past presidential administrations, governmentwide reform efforts often produced recommendations and a plan of action. The challenge that each typically faced was in sustaining implementation and achieving long-term changes. How to get started.
