STOP REFORM UK

Take Action to Stop RUK

Stopping Reform UK is a long term project, and there are already many ways that you can put your energy into strengthening efforts to prevent them building their power and further dividing communities. 

  • Sign up to ‘HOPE not hate’ here and connect with those in your local area that are taking action. HOPE not hate is the main organisation taking action against Reform UK. Their work is focused on breaking the power of the organized far right by building skills and resilience, and organizing for action. Fill in this survey to inform HOPE not hate about Reform UK activities in your area.

  • Make your vote a ‘tactical vote’ against Reform UK by putting your postcode into stopreformuk.vote to see which candidate in your area is the best placed to beat the Reform UK candidate. The Movement Forwards runs their ‘tactical voting,’ website for local, regional and general elections. This tactic has previously been used to help oust the Tories, and is now pivoting to stop Reform UK. It may mean having to vote Labour even if you can’t stand the current government, but at least it’ll keep out Farage. You can also volunteer to help the campaign.

  • Join ‘Greens Organise’ to back bold, community-rooted Green Party election candidates who are battling Reform UK. Greens Organise is a grassroots network of Green Party members that started after the 2024 General Election, seeking a more organised and effective left. Sign up to take action with Greens Organise against Reform UK here. 

  • Post on social media to help build the fight against Reform UK. Share posts on social media:
    • Reform Party UK Exposed highlight Reform UK’s agenda, racism, who funds them, election failures, controversies, and to generally ridicule them on a broad range of topics – Bluesky and twitter/x 
    • Use #StopReformUK on twitter/x and Bluesky to share further posts. 

  • Apply pressure to the Labour Party to take action. This is wider work that you can do to push for reforms that will mean that not only Reform UK, but the far right in general, loses its hold over British life and politics. Here are 3 areas where you can apply pressure: 


1. The Labour government needs to tighten up the rules on foreign donations. This specifically relates to Elon Musk donating to Reform. Labour ministers are reported to be working on this, but any pressure we can apply will make this more likely.

  • If you live in a seat with a Labour MP then email them. Find out who your MP is and how to contact them here. If you don’t have a Labour MP, email anyway, it all helps.
  • Add your name to the Unlock Democracy petition here on “They must close the loopholes allowing foreign nationals to donate to our parties AND introduce a £5,000 annual donation limit to get big money out of our politics.”


2. We need critical thinking to be taught in schools. Labour minister Bridget Phillipson has said that critical thinking should be taught in schools to combat extremism. We also need schools to teach how to spot fake news and disinformation, which has been highly successful in Finland.

  • If you live in a seat with a Labour MP then email them. Find out who your MP is and how to contact them here. If you don’t have a Labour MP, email anyway, it all helps.


3. We need to replace first-past-the-post (FPTP) with a truly representative voting system. A majority of political parties, representing 500 parliamentary seats, now acknowledge that FPTP damages trust in politics. Public support for proportional representation has reached historic highs.

The choice Britain faces is stark but clear. We can wait until Reform UK crosses the threshold where our broken electoral system begins amplifying rather than constraining its influence, or we can act now to build democratic institutions robust enough to withstand the authoritarian challenge of our era. The stakes could not be higher. As other democracies have learned too late, the time to strengthen democratic safeguards is before they are dismantled, not after. Reform UK’s rise represents not just a political challenge but a fundamental test of our democratic resilience.

How we respond will determine whether Britain’s democracy emerges stronger or follows the path of democratic decay we’ve witnessed elsewhere. Let’s make sure it’s the former.
