The Third Way is a think tank and former political party in the United Kingdom, founded on the 17 March 1990. Third Way has supported a system of federalism for the UK[3] with the possibility of a future break-up,[4] an isolationist foreign policy,[5] environmentalism,[6] the wide use of Swiss-style citizens' initiatives[7] and distributism.[8]

It should not be confused with the Third Way ideology promoted by Tony Blair, Bill Clinton and Gerhard Schröder, which it condemns as a revised form of social democracy.[9] It is not related to the Christian Third Way magazine.
