Rejected petition Suspend Reform UK from 2026 Senedd race pending full inquiry into foreign-influence risks.
This petition urges the Senedd to suspend Reform UK from the 2026 election pending a full security review. Growing public concern over potential foreign-influence risks and recent reports raising questions about party conduct demand urgent scrutiny. Until independent investigations confirm the party’s integrity and the credibility of its policy platform, its participation poses unacceptable uncertainty.

This petition calls on the Senedd to suspend Reform UK from participating in the 2026 election until a full, independent security and conduct review is completed. Growing public concern about possible foreign-influence vulnerabilities, alongside reported investigations into serious misconduct involving some members, highlights an urgent need for scrutiny. Recent cases in which individuals associated with the party were suspended over racist behaviour have further undermined confidence in its internal standards. Additionally, widespread criticism of the party’s policy platform has raised questions about its credibility and fitness for public office. In the interest of safeguarding Wales’s democratic integrity, we urge the Senedd to act decisively and ensure that any party seeking election meets the highest standards of transparency, security, and ethical conduct.
