Restore Britain

All six parties are asked the same questions in the same order, so their answers can be read against each other. Positions are the party’s own; anything in the grey line beneath is our note on where a policy is contested or short on detail.

1. 01

   Immigration & asylum

   Who gets to come here, who gets to stay, and what happens to people who arrive without permission.

   The furthest-reaching platform of the six: abolition of the asylum system and what the party calls the largest deportation programme in Britain's history, set out in a 113-page paper, Mass Deportations: Legitimacy, Legality and Logistics, which proposes removing everyone in the UK illegally within three years. The overall target is net-negative immigration.

   Legal scholars and migration researchers question whether removals on this scale are achievable within any Western legal framework, and the paper's own title concedes legitimacy and legality are open questions.

2. 02

   Tax & the economy

   Who pays what, and what the state can afford as a result.

   The party describes its economic outlook as libertarian, favouring a smaller state and lower taxes.

   No costed fiscal programme published.

3. 03

   NHS & social care

   How healthcare and care for older and disabled people are funded and delivered.

   No current published position located. This may mean the party has said little on the subject, or that we have not found what it has said — we would rather show the gap than fill it with inference.

4. 04

   Housing

   Whether enough homes get built, who builds them, and who can afford one.

   No current published position located. This may mean the party has said little on the subject, or that we have not found what it has said — we would rather show the gap than fill it with inference.

5. 05

   Crime & justice

   Policing, sentencing and prisons — how much punishment, and how much prevention.

   A referendum on restoring the death penalty. Possession of pepper spray would be legalised and "reasonable force" in home defence expanded.

   Capital punishment is prohibited by Protocol 13 of the European Convention on Human Rights, which the UK has ratified; restoring it would require withdrawal.

6. 06

   Energy & net zero

   How fast Britain cuts carbon emissions, what it costs, and who bears the cost.

   No current published position located. This may mean the party has said little on the subject, or that we have not found what it has said — we would rather show the gap than fill it with inference.

7. 07

   Education

   Schools, universities and skills — funding, standards and who pays for what.

   No current published position located. This may mean the party has said little on the subject, or that we have not found what it has said — we would rather show the gap than fill it with inference.

8. 08

   Defence & foreign policy

   Military spending, NATO, the nuclear deterrent and Britain's alliances.

   No current published position located. This may mean the party has said little on the subject, or that we have not found what it has said — we would rather show the gap than fill it with inference.

9. 09

   Europe & the constitution

   The relationship with the EU, membership of international courts, and how power is distributed within the UK.

   No current published position located. This may mean the party has said little on the subject, or that we have not found what it has said — we would rather show the gap than fill it with inference.

10. 10

    Media & culture

    The BBC, broadcasting, and contested questions of national identity and religious practice.

    Withdrawal of BBC funding. Halal and kosher slaughter would be abolished, and the burqa and niqab banned in public.

    The religious-slaughter and clothing measures would affect Jewish and Muslim practice; the party frames them as animal-welfare and integration measures.

Positions are summarised from each party’s published material and reporting of it, not from a full manifesto reading, and platforms move. How we work.
