Reform Party Pledge Tracker

Reform UK, as a small party in opposition, have little power to actually put their pledges into legislation. However, they should be able to successfully raise key issues in parliament, submit for private members bills to legislate their ideas, and use parliamentary procedure to challenge the government on the implementation of their own plans.

Please note, where anti-climate actions have been promised, the party will still be judged based on their success in advocating or implementing this change.
