Who are we?

Campaigning for a stronger Yorkshire in a fairer United Kingdom


The Yorkshire Party is a political party demanding an end to Westminster-centred politics. Our region has been neglected by politicians in Westminster for years.

We are founded on the social democratic principles of subsidiarity, dignity, community and cooperation. We believe that by moving powers as close to people as possible, we can empower communities to be ambitious and allow individuals freedom for creativity and enterprise.

We believe service to humanity should be the foundation of government and that as members of society we share a responsibility to participate in building a region of fairness and opportunity.

Both Conservative and Labour incompetence has left Yorkshire lagging behind on almost every level. Only the Yorkshire Party is offering an ambitious vision to revive our democracy and invest in transport, health, jobs and our children’s futures.

Yorkshire has a larger population than Scotland, an economy twice that of Wales but the powers of neither. By calling for a devolved Yorkshire parliament we aim to build a stronger Yorkshire within a fairer United Kingdom.
