Lib Dems Spread False Claims of Election Pact

Setting the Record Straight: There Is No Pact Between Reform and the Conservatives

3/9/20261 min read

A leaflet circulating locally claims as a fact that Reform and the Conservatives are "working together" and that Reform "helped the Conservatives pass their most recent budget at Surrey County Council."

This statement is false.

Reform stands independently. We do not enter local deals, coalitions, or voting agreements with any party.

Our candidates and volunteers work hard to offer residents a genuine alternative - not to prop up the status quo.

What Actually Happened

The claim being circulated misrepresents the situation. Reform did not support the Conservative budget at Surrey County Council. No discussions, agreements, or cooperation took place.

Why This Matters

False claims presented as fact can mislead voters and distort the democratic process. When a leaflet states something with certainty, people naturally assume it must be true.

That's why it's important to correct the record quickly and clearly.

Our Track Record of Independence

Reform stands candidates against Conservatives locally and nationally.

Reform leadership has repeatedly rejected pacts and backroom deals. Local Reform teams campaign independently and vote independently.

What We Stand For

Residents deserve honesty, transparency, and a fresh approach to local government.

Our focus is on:

- Clear, accountable decision-making

- Value for money

- Strong local services

- A council that listens to residents

A Message to Residents: Don't let false claims shape your vote.

Check the facts, look at the record, and make your decision based on what each party actually stands for - not on misleading statements. Reform is independent. Reform is transparent. Reform is here to offer a real alternative.
