The Breakthrough Party was a minor political party in the United Kingdom. The party described itself as a "new home for those determined to disrupt the failed status quo and build an alternative: a society that uses its considerable wealth to provide dignity, security and justice for all".[4] The party's constitution declared it to be a democratic socialist party.[5] It was registered with the Electoral Commission in January 2021.[1] In December 2023, the party announced that it will be dissolving and merging into Transform.[6]
