Renowned activist, campaigner, and philanthropist, Gina Miller, has long been a prominent voice for transparency, accountability, and social justice in both politics and finance.

From her groundbreaking legal challenges against the UK government to her tireless advocacy for ethical investment practices, Miller has consistently challenged the status quo and inspired change on a global scale.

In this exclusive interview, we delve into the motivations, experiences, and aspirations driving Gina Miller's extraordinary journey as a champion for positive change.

As she stands independently for election as MP for Epsom, Ewell, Ashtead and Leatherhead, Ms Miller shares her principles and care for fostering the next generation’s political advocacy. However, her journey towards this moment was not premeditated; it had been shaped by a deep-seated commitment to addressing societal issues, dating back to 1988 when she first recognised challenges within public services, particularly the NHS and the services available to her daughter, sharing, "The health service has been and is on its knees."


Driven by a desire for fairness and accessibility, Miller played a pivotal role in passing the Education Act in 1996, advocating for support for children on the autism spectrum. She emphasises,

In the world we live in, if we can't strive for perfection, we can at least strive for fairness.


Transitioning to the finance sector in 1996, Miller continued to make waves, contributing to three EU directives in 2014 that reshaped pensions and investment practices in the UK. However, it was her involvement in the legal challenges during Brexit that thrust her into the spotlight. Looking back on these cases, Miller emphasises that rather than the recognition of the government’s wrongdoings during the time, "The political will to bring the cases to court was the thing that was important."


Miller's decision to enter politics was not premeditated, but rather a response to what she perceives as a sincere and alarming lack of ‘leaders who put our nation first’. Expressing concern over voter apathy and the state of the economy, she urges for transformative action. In fact, what could be argued as the crux of Miller’s principles going into the election is the need for everyone to vote, with 70% voting in the last election, and predictions pointing to a 40% reduction in the number of voters.

To tackle this issue, Miller advocates for increased education on politics and finance to empower the next generation. She shared that ‘[she] often hear[s] people, particularly young people, saying ‘I’m not interested in politics’’ to which she replies: 

Politics is about policies, and policies are about people.

As she calls for mandatory voting and a lower voting age to ensure broader participation. 


Central to Miller's platform is a commitment to integrity and independence. She refuses to be swayed by party lines, asserting herself as, "Somebody who will not be whipped – who will stand up and call out our government on the main issues that we face today”, including tackling dementia, diabetes, and depression.

Miller's message to Epsom and Ewell is clear: "Do something different." The area's longstanding Conservative dominance raised the question of ‘why Surrey?’ To which she further emphasises her advocacy for a shift towards a more inclusive and forward-thinking approach, also recognising the area's proximity to Westminster, giving it a poignant and act-upon-worthy place on “the political map”.

A distinctive aspect of Miller's political stance, which sets her apart from your average local MP, lies in her belief in shared facilities between the private and public sectors. Recalling collaboration between private and public schools during COVID-19 as a model for success, where the help of 30 private schools’ facilities aided public schools through the pandemic, Ms Miller highlights the importance of pragmatic solutions over ideological divides.

Despite facing personal challenges, including a history of domestic violence and death threats, Miller remains admirable in her commitment to diversity and inclusion in government. While challenging and calling out the toxicity of the Commons’ nature, she also considers the precedent of collaboration from which a stable democracy can flourish. "We have to reach out to people who disagree and bring them with us," she asserts, aligning herself with her sentiment of "disagreeing agreeably."


Gina Miller's journey from activism to politics embodies resilience, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to positive change. As she ventures into the realm of electoral politics, her message of inclusivity, integrity, and transformation resonates deeply with the electorate of Epsom and Ewell.
