Frequently Asked Questions

Our nation is crumbling. 

Our constitution has been undermined. 

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is severed with a border in the Irish Sea, put there by the Tories. None of the mainstream parties will remove this border and unite our Kingdom. 

Our other borders have been dismantled. Mass migration is eroding our culture and destroying our economy. 

Free speech is being systematically shut down to silence our complaints. 

Our democracy is being defeated by international law and domestic agencies.

Our children are indoctrinated at school. 

Justice is prejudiced.

There is not a single mainstream party that stands for nation, freedom, democracy and equality under the law. Advance UK will be that party. 

There is no such thing as “right wing”. There are those who believe in governance by supranational institutions, international law and domestic unaccountable agencies. These are also the people that do not care about the nation state, freedom, democracy and equality under the law. 

Then there are those of us who believe in our country, freedom, democracy and equality under the law. 

This is not a “left/ right” thing and there are no political parties standing for the principles in which we believe. 

Moreover, the General Election is years away. There is no vote to split. We need to win the debate and set the direction of travel for the country.

Finally, democracy is about choice, not fortifying into position those who have already failed by not “splitting” their vote. 

Reform has no settled political philosophy. It stands for nothing other than the pursuit of power.

Farage is on the record saying:

  • A united Ireland is inevitable. Advance UK absolutely rejects that and the Irish Sea border. 

  • He is not concerned about the rate of demographic change. Advance UK is rightly concerned.

  • He would not deport all illegal migrants in the country. He has said it is politically impossible. It is not impossible. Advance UK would take all steps required to deport them.

  • He would not “politically alienate Islam”, whatever that means. Advance UK stands firmly for our Christian constitution, culture and values. 

  • He would consider bringing Shamima Begum back into the country. Never would Advance UK allow this. 

  • He would allow trans women, i.e. men, into women’s prisons on a risk assessed basis. Never would Advance UK allow men into women’s prisons.

Reform does not believe in democracy. Farage is Reform and Reform is Farage. Advance UK’s constitution is entirely democratic.

Reform does not believe in free speech. It polices its members views and habitually throws people out of the party for what they have tweeted. Advance UK does not police its members. We must be judged by our policies, not the views of our members.

Some of Reform’s MPs voted for assisted dying. Advance UK stands absolutely against it.

Reform uses lawfare against its own – Rupert Lowe and others. Advance UK would never do such a thing.

See above. Reform is NOT the answer. Advance UK will make a massive impact.

Answer: We are not currently accepting donations by cryptocurrency, but we will update our website in due course if we do. Until then, please do not donate to any wallets presenting themselves as being associated with Advance UK, and do not buy any tokens that appear to be promoting the Advance UK brand. Any official cryptocurrency details we set up in the future will be posted here for validation.

We currently only accept payment for membership via our official website at www.advanceuk.org.uk. No other website is authorised to accept payments on our behalf. 

Payments are processed by Stripe on our behalf. We currently accept payment by credit/debit card, direct debit or Apple/Google Pay on our joining form.

Why is no payment form appearing? 

For some people you may have to 'Accept All' cookies to enable the Stripe payment form to appear (or at least accept the functional cookie required by Stripe). You can do this by pressing on the Cookiebot toggle at the bottom left of the website. Once you have completed payment you can press the toggle again to change your cookie preferences. If the problem persists please clear your cookies or try making the payment on a different device. 

How do I cancel auto-renewal of my membership (paid for by credit/debit card)

When you join a political party you are committing to a movement for the long term, which includes annual membership. Auto-renew means a start-up party does not have to employ staff or divert volunteers for the act of chasing membership renewals. For context, with more than 30,000 members even if just 10% switch off auto-renew we will need to chase around 57 members per week on average, with a huge peak in June, July and August as that is when the party experienced its initial growth. This activity will divert volunteers away from contacting voters and campaigning for change in our country to instead carrying out the work of administering the party. It is a vital act of support to keep auto-renew switched on.

However, we recognise you may wish to make your own arrangements to renew your membership or may need to turn off auto-renew for other reasons (so you can change payment method at the time of renewal for instance). To do this, visit the Supporter Hub and then click into the Membership Portal link at the top of the page. From here, you can click into the 'Memberships' option and then click into your membership record. You can then cancel your auto-renewal from this screen. Pressing the cancel button on this screen will not cancel your membership, it will only cancel your auto-renewal. 

 

There is no process to switch directly from credit/debit card membership to direct debit membership. 

If you complete the joining form again, you will be charged twice and generate a second membership record under your name.

We are advising all current credit/debit card members to wait until June 2026 by which time the first memberships will start to come up for renewal. Once you get to within 24/48hrs of your renewal date, cancel your credit/debit card membership and set up a new direct debit membership instead.

You will keep the same membership number, but you should be aware that from the point at which you cancel your credit/debit card membership until the cleared funds from the direct debit are received (which can take 10-14 days) you will technically not be a party member during this period. Any risks that arise from not being a member (such as not being able to vote on a matter) should therefore be carefully considered. 

We will email members in June 2026 with any updated advice or with the details of any process we develop to enable a smoother transition.
