The People First Party is a political party in the Crown Dependency of Jersey founded by Nick Le Cornu in 2026.
History
Nick Le Cornu was one of the founding members of the largest political party on the island, Reform Jersey, and along with deputy Sam Mezec transformed it from a pressure group into a political party.
In the 2014 Jersey by-elections, Le Cornu won the St Helier No. 1 seat.
Later in the year, Le Cornu was forced to resign from the party over sexist comments made about a female candidate for the upcoming general elections on his Twitter account. Le Cornu was not re-elected in 2014.
Le Cornu ran as a candidate in the subsequent 2018 and 2022 elections.
In April 2026, Le Cornu launched the People First Party. Its manifesto included committing to a £15 minimum wage, reforming the bureaucracy and combatting discrimination. The party will present two candidates in the 2026 Jersey general election, Nick Le Cornu and trade unionist Andy Sinclair. The pair are standing in the St Helier South constituency.
