Middlewich First is a minor English political party based in the town of Middlewich, Cheshire.[2] It holds three seats on the unitary Cheshire East Council.[1] and five seats on Middlewich council.[3]

The party was registered in 2003, and won a majority on Middlewich Town Council in May 2003 by standing 8 unopposed candidates.[4] All three borough seats in Middlewich were won in 2008.[2][5][6] Cllr Mike Parsons said of their success that "I think it is certainly fair to say this result reflects the Middlewich public's genuine dislike of all politicians. They are sick of party politics and squabbling."[7]
