We are on a quest to restore our democracy by building trust in our institutions and ensuring that our government is held accountable to the people. Our vision aligns with that of our Founding Fathers: to establish a political system based on self-governance, firmly rooted in the principles of a constitutional republic, and facilitated through a democratic process. By establishing a viable third party, we believe we can create a political structure conducive to achieving this vision.
Once we have established structural reform in our political system, transitioning from a two-party duality to a three-party or multi-party plurality, it will be critical to maintain it. Therefore, our mission is to preserve this structural reform, with the core goal of preserving democracy. Individual rights, such as voting rights and freedom of speech, are essential to maintaining a democratic process, and we need a party to defend them.

GUARDRAILS |
FORWARD FORMULA |
|
|
The policy guardrails are designed to cultivate a political climate where consensus and compromise are not just encouraged but seen as essential elements of governance. They are designed to create a structure for cultivating policymaking that is both inclusive and representative of the broader polis, steering clear of the polarization that hampers productive political discourse. The Forward Formula is an ongoing process subject to change as new information becomes available. It is rigorously conducted by subject matter experts who volunteer their time, thoughts, and talents to collect, analyze, and interpret polling data from members, report findings, and finalize policy guardrails pursuant to our value-based platform. Consequently, not all issues of public interest will be reported simultaneously. Our Policy Committee continuously engages with members, current events, and public research for knowledge discovery, requiring time to complete necessary procedures and peer reviews to ensure quality reporting.

The Forward Formula is a process of collecting, analyzing, and interpreting polling data from members to establish policy guardrails that help candidates identify policy solutions to issues representing a consensus. Rooted in an interdisciplinary mix of philosophy, politics, and science, the Forward Formula is an innovative approach that addresses partisan extremism, cultivates a consensus-based approach to policymaking, and welcomes viewpoint diversity across the political spectrum.

LEADERSHIP CONSENSUS |
ABOUT US |
|
|
The Forward Party is new, different, and exciting. Traditional parties announce their platforms, don't tell you much, and rarely end up doing what they claim. We are not here to tell you what to think. Instead, we want to ask you (and all voters) what you think. We will gather the data and report back to you on the common-sense, common-ground, consensus solutions that you can expect from Forward candidates and elected officials. It all starts with the Forward Formula, which we expand here to capture our holistic approach. Through months of polling, data collection, and research, we have completed our first official report. As you will see, a great deal of time and energy was needed to produce such an impressive document. We will continue applying the Forward Formula to important issues and help produce solutions that people will agree on. In the meantime, we have put together policy discussions on a variety of topics. Please note that these positions are meant to demonstrate leadership's consensus on issues and showcase how individuals with a diverse set of viewpoints can find common ground. With your help and feedback, we will formalize these issues over time as we go FORWARD. |
