Prosper UK believes growth, responsibility, opportunity and strong institutions are the foundations of a confident, successful country.
Prosperity starts with growth.
We believe:
- Businesses create growth, not government
- Prosperity requires long-term thinking over short-term political popularity
- Free markets foster innovation and consumer choice
- Too much regulation stifles growth
- The tax system should reward hard work, investment and innovation
- Outside of a crisis, government should borrow only for investment - and only what we can afford
- Inflation must remain under control
- Energy should be both clean and affordable
- We should reduce barriers to trade, especially with our closest neighbours and the world’s fastest growing economies
- We should allow people with the skills our economy needs to come here, but only if they do so legally and the numbers are controlled
But prosperity is about more than growth. It is about opportunity and security - great schools, safe streets, strong communities and pride in our country.
We Believe In
A country where success is celebrated and help is there for those who truly need it
A country where people are judged on contribution, not background, class or faith
Strong defence, law and order, and secure borders
Individual freedom balanced by social responsibility
Respect for our institutions
Protecting the environment for future generations
The Union of our four nations
Working with other countries to solve problems we cannot fix alone
A Different Style of Politics
Too often politics avoids reality or chases headlines. We want to focus on what actually works and raise the level of debate.
