Reform party, in the United States, political party founded in 1995 by H. Ross Perot as an alternative to the Democratic and Republican parties.

 REFORM PARTY OPPOSES STEM CELL RESEARCH [Free Republic]
For the first time, the Reform Party USA took a brave, bold stand on great moral issues; and unlike the Republican Party, the Reform Party is not beholden to Big Money foreign interests and is therefore not hindered to pursue her newly socially conservative platform.
As such, veteran Reformers would argue that the Reform Party was "neutral" on the issue; however, Pro-Life Reformers would refute that by stressing that a silent plank on a great moral issue is actually not a neutral position at all, but rather supports the idea that abortion is not worthy of being addressed.
Moreover, because the Reform Party USA Constitution requires that 2/3 of the entire National Delegation approve amendments to the National Platform, the Reform Party's new stance on this social issue goes to show that the vast majority of its members are steering the Reform Party to a principled conservative direction.
