Jack Anderton, an adviser associated with Reform UK, suggested that Britain would have fared better if it had remained neutral during WWII. He also argued against supporting Ukraine in its conflict with Russia. In a personal blog, he envisioned a meritocratic future where the UK could reclaim its former territories and criticized the extensive resources spent on foreign wars since WW1. He remarked that Britain's involvement in both world wars diminished its status as a great power, which led to economic stagnation and an empire's loss.
In a post on his personal blog about Britain's international standing, Anderton said that in a future world of meritocracy, the UK could regain former colonies such as Australia, Canada and South Africa.
Anderton has argued that fighting in both world wars ensured that the UK was no longer a great power, noting that the economy stagnated after those conflicts.
