Our Manifesto for a Better Britain.
Our Manifesto for a Better Britain is the national manifesto of the British Unionist Party.
Through five core sections: Better Democracy, Better Opportunities, Better Care & Support, Better Immigration Policy and Better Industry, it offers a broad and substantial vision for a Better Britain that we can believe in and work together to build: Scotland, England, Northern Ireland and Wales working together as One to build a better nation for all.

Our manifesto can be viewed in full as a PDF through the below link.
Our manifesto can be summarised in five points:
​
1. Better Democracy and Stronger Union
We support proportional representation at Westminster, a Unity Act removing internal tariffs/customs within the UK (e.g. the Irish Sea border) and for the failed devolution experiment (including Holyrood) to be abolished and replaced with genuine decentralisation of power to local government.
​
2. Better Opportunities for Britain's Youth
Young workers have been burdened with crippling student debt and shrinking opportunities. We support free higher education through attainment-based student grants and abolition of the Blair-era student loan system, significant expansion of apprenticeship schemes and a £15 per hour National Living Wage.
​
3. Better Care & Support for our Pensioners
We oppose Starmer's cruel cuts to Winter Fuel Allowance that will put many thousands of pensioners in a dangerous position this winter. Out-of-control NHS waiting lists must be cut through investment, tackling health tourism and the re-instatement of matrons and state-enrolled nurses to restore quality care.
​
4. Better Immigration Policy for our Society
Immigration has spiralled out of control under the establishment parties, often hitting record levels year-on-year. We support a freeze on non-essential immigration and significant investment in a fit-for-purporse border infrastructure.
​
5. Better Industry and Economic Development
Our service sector, gig economy provides few prospects for many. We must rebuild a serious, forward-looking industrial economy, investing in traditional industries like steel and shipbuilding while fuelling world-leading research in engineering, science and emergent sectors like renewables.
