It is currently unclear what will be listed in the manifesto, however, rumors suggest that the political party has promised to reduce unnecessary expenses and bureaucratic processes by £50 billion annually if they are chosen to govern.
In the previous year, we released a compilation of 10 guidelines for manifestos from political parties. We believe that these guidelines help to ensure that their policies are truthful, comprehensible, and significant. One of these guidelines is to guarantee that all statements made in manifestos are factually accurate, do not mislead voters, and are supported by evidence whenever feasible.
We made a public request to the former leader of Reform UK, Richard Tice, and other leaders of the political party to back these standards, and sent letters outlining our requirements in November 2023 and January 2024.
As of now, we haven't gotten any confirmation from either Mr Tice or Nigel Farage, the new leader of Reform UK, that they're on board.
