Better Way 2022, also known as A Better Way, was a group of independent politicians in Jersey who agreed common principles and pledged to work collaboratively ahead of the 2022 general election. It was not registered as a political party.

Common principles

The group's stated principles were:

the Assembly should be responsive to the needs of the people of Jersey;
decisions should be sustainable and evidence based, balancing social, economic and environmental wellbeing;
public spending should be affordable now and for future generations;
diversity should be valued, recognising the potential of every member of our community;
Jersey should play a positive and relevant role internationally; and
businesses and entrepreneurial skills should be supported to generate financial growth and stability.

2022 general election and government

Better Way was founded in March 2022 ahead of the 2022 general election. Five Better Way-aligned candidates stood for Deputy, of whom four were elected to the States Assembly.

All four went on to hold ministerial or assistant ministerial positions. They included Kristina Moore, who served as Chief Minister of Jersey from July 2022 until January 2024.
