Better UK Politics
– From the Centre
Independent political analysis and a developing campaigning think tank, founded by Martin Curtis.
Unless the centre drives meaningful change, the extremes will. Change from the Centre makes the case for a radical centre; practical solutions to the problems people face, and reform of the political system that too often gets in the way.

Our purpose
Unless the centre drives meaningful change, the extremes will.
Britain is full of capable people, good ideas and communities willing to make things better. Our politics needs to give them a better chance.
Our founding statement explains what we mean by the radical centre, why political reform needs a coherent plan and why prevention should sit at the heart of government.
