Overview

The English Constitution Party is a small, registered political party focused on English nationalism and constitutional reform. Registered with the Electoral Commission on 16 November 2021, it fields candidates in England, Scotland, and Wales. Its registered party descriptions centre on themes of English independence, self-determination, an English Parliament, and constitutional freedoms.

The party's descriptions include: "Independence for England", "Self-Determination for England", "English Parliament", "England, One Nation", "Bill of Rights", "Freedom, Magna Carta", "Freedom", and "In God We Trust". These suggest a platform combining English nationalism with traditionalist/conservative constitutional themes.

Founding/History

Little is known about the party's origins beyond its Electoral Commission registration on 16 November 2021. The party appears to be centred in Devon, based on its registered address. It is exempt from quarterly donation and transaction returns — a status typically granted to parties with very low income — indicating minimal financial activity.

Connection to Yorkshire Rose: The task brief noted a possible link to "Yorkshire Rose" and "Amanda Smith". However, no public evidence was found connecting the English Constitution Party to either a group called "Yorkshire Rose" or an individual named Amanda Smith. The Yorkshire Party is a separate, much larger regionalist party with a very different ideological profile (centrist/social-democratic, pro-devolution). The English Constitution Party appears to be an entirely separate entity.

Leadership

Leader & Nominating Officer: Mr Graham Moore — also serves as Deputy Treasurer
Treasurer: Miss Val Phillips

No biographical information about either officer could be found through web searches. The party's small size and minimal online footprint suggest it may be a personal vehicle for Graham Moore.

Electoral Performance

No electoral results could be found for the English Constitution Party. The party is registered to field candidates in England, Scotland, and Wales but does not appear to have contested any elections at parliamentary, devolved, or local level since its registration in November 2021. It did not field candidates in the 2024 UK general election.

Ideology

Based on registered party descriptions, the party's ideology appears to include:

English nationalism — "Independence for England", "English Parliament" (suggesting support for a devolved English parliament or English independence)
Constitutionalism — "Bill of Rights", "Freedom, Magna Carta" (invoking historic constitutional documents)
Traditionalism — "In God We Trust" (religious/monarchical language)
Self-determination — "Self-Determination for England" (possibly linked to English devolution or independence movements)

The party's positioning falls within the broader English nationalist tradition (distinct from British nationalism), potentially positioning it alongside groups like the English Democrats, though with a more explicitly constitutionalist framing.

Controversies

No controversies identified. The party's extremely low public profile means it has attracted essentially no media coverage or public scrutiny.

Connections

Research gap: The task brief suggested links to "Yorkshire Rose (Amanda Smith)". Neither "Yorkshire Rose" (as a political entity) nor "Amanda Smith" could be verified through web research as connected to this party. The Yorkshire Party — a much larger regionalist party registered with the EC since 2014 — has no known connection to the English Constitution Party or to Amanda Smith.

Research Gaps & Notes

No website found: The party does not appear to maintain a public website
No social media presence found: No X/Twitter, Facebook, or other social media accounts identified
No electoral history: Despite being registered since 2021, the party has no known electoral contests
No biographical data: Officers Graham Moore and Val Phillips have no discernible public profile
Amanda Smith/Yorkshire Rose connection: Unverified — possibly an internal party connection or a different entity entirely
The party may be a paper-only registration: Some small parties register with the Electoral Commission but never contest elections, existing primarily as a legal entity for the party name
