Hampshire has the second lowest council tax of any county council in the country. 93% of our schools are rated good or outstanding. Reform could put all of that at risk.
Reform UK use councils they control to experiment with policies that they hope to implement in government.
Hampshire is not a laboratory.
Our schools
Hampshire's education budget offers our children outstanding provision. 93% good or outstanding — Reform's untested approach could threaten local classroom funding.
Our infrastructure
From the M3 to our local bus networks, essential services demand real experience and competence — not slogans.
Our communities
Divisive populism could tear the social fabric of our vibrant Hampshire towns. We stand for unity, not fear.
The council works well, our services deliver, and our council tax is among the lowest in England. Why would we gamble all of that on people with zero experience?
— Tom Altamura, Resident, WinchesterIs this the Party you want in charge of Hampshire?
Reform's rhetoric goes beyond politics — it could pit neighbour against neighbour. Their approach risks undermining the social fabric of our towns and villages.

Reform's hand-picked Hampshire mayor candidate
Suspended after describing members of a Jewish neighbourhood watch group as "cosplayers" and likening them to "Islamists on horseback."
This is who they wanted in charge of Hampshire.

Suspended in Hampshire
Nigel Farage's hand-picked mayoral candidate for Hampshire has been suspended and is under investigation, after he described members of a Jewish neighbourhood watch group as "cosplayers" and likened them to "Islamists on horseback." This comes after he told David Lammy, the Labour Deputy Prime Minister, to "go home" to the Caribbean. If Reform appointed this individual to be their Hampshire Mayoral Candidate, who have they chosen as their Council Candidates?
Division by design
Farage has built his entire political career on identifying groups to blame. Hampshire's strength is its diversity and decency. That's what's at stake on May 7th.
A pattern of extremism
Reform councillors across the country have faced suspension, defection, and scandal within months of being elected. Multiple candidates have been linked to far-right networks. This is a pattern.

Do we want this sort of behaviour in Hampshire?
Reform have already taken control of councils elsewhere in England. Here's what happened.
Delivered the biggest rise in England.
The Reform record
Reform UK promised to cut council tax. In Worcestershire, they hiked it by 9% — the biggest rise in England. Nearly £145 extra per household per year. Plus £500,000 on PwC consultants.
Broken promises
In Derbyshire, Reform are closing 8 residential care homes. Families in distress. Meanwhile, £5 million went to private consultants.
Inexperience in action
In Warwickshire, a 19-year-old Reform Councillor was appointed Leader of the Council and hiked Council Tax by 4% — after describing his preferred method for managing staff as "boots on neck."
Don't wait for the damage.
Whether you usually vote Labour, Lib Dem, Green, or don't vote at all — this is the election to show up and stop Reform on May 7th.
