“...We believe that a dramatic extension of personal freedom would create a more peaceful, tolerant and wealthy society...”
“We believe that Britain’s centralised state has failed to adapt to the 21st century – and shows no sign of being capable of doing so.”
"We seek a rapid, substantial and permanent transfer of power away from politicians and bureaucrats directly to the citizens of our country.”
“We live in one of the most exciting times in history, enjoying the benefits of centuries of innovation and technological advance. Our aim is to encourage, stimulate, engage in, contribute to and lead a serious debate about how people can make the most of these opportunities.”
“Although we are critical of the status quo, we are not pessimists about the future.”

is a campaigning think tank which investigates and advocates radical,
liberal solutions to the problems facing British society today. We are
concerned that politicians of all parties appear addicted to
centralised, state-initiated, authoritarian public sector approaches to
the overwhelming majority of our country’s ills. We assert that a
dramatic extension of personal freedom would not only lead to more
fulfilling lives for individual men and women, but also to a more
peaceful, tolerant and wealthier society.
We believe that many of society’s problems are either directly caused by the centralised state or could be better tackled by ordinary people. We therefore seek a rapid, substantial and permanent transfer of power away from politicians and bureaucrats directly to the citizens of our country.
We believe that Britain’s centralised state has failed to adapt to the 21st century – and shows no sign of being capable of doing so. We do not recoil from challenging institutions that have long been regarded as wise, benevolent and natural. In many areas – including health, education, housing and transport – the systems and approaches used today are little different from those used more than half a century ago, and no more effective.
We are frustrated by the opinion-poll driven culture of mainstream party politics, which we believe is proving to be a real barrier to implementing the serious reforms required in Britain and the European Union. Progressive Vision is not affiliated to any political party. We do not seek election to public office. The arguments we put and the ideas we advocate will never be based on what we think you want to hear.
Although we are critical of the status quo, we are not pessimists about the future. We live in one of the most exciting times in history, enjoying the benefits of centuries of innovation and technological advance. Our aim is to encourage, stimulate, engage in, contribute to and lead a serious debate about how people can make the most of these opportunities. If you agree with us, please join us.
Progressive Vision launches Green Monitor
Progressive Vision has launched a new campaign, Green Monitor to track and analyse the activities of environmental groups.
Green Monitor intends to highlight the real harm done by these groups in the developing world. Whilst groups such as Greenpeace and Friends of the Earth are no doubt well intentioned, they too often advocate policies without reasonable scientific basis that can result in the death, injury and poverty of vulnerable groups in Africa and Asia.
