Reforms for the Future (Ukrainian: Реформи заради майбутнього) was a Ukrainian deputy group turned faction in its national parliament Verkhovna Rada created on February 16, 2011. Deputy Ihor Rybakov (earlier elected on the election list of the Bloc of Yulia Tymoshenko), is the group's faction leader. The faction supported the Azarov Government. All members of the group had individually already entered into the parliamentary coalition which supported this government. At its peak the group contained 21 deputies (in January 2012). In the parliament elected on 28 October 2012 that has started its tasks on 15 December 2012 the faction was not re-created.
Reforms for the Future started as a new deputy group in the Verkhovna Rada (Ukraine's parliament) on August 31, 2010. The Reforms for the Future deputy group stated in September 2010 that it intended to seek the rights of a parliamentary faction. After the cancellation of the Imperative Mandate on October 1, 2010 it became possible for 15 or more deputies to form a parliamentary faction (a lawmaker can join only one faction; the chairman and his two assistants cannot head factions of deputies). At that time, the deputy group consisted of 17 deputies expelled from the Yulia Tymoshenko Bloc–Batkivschyna faction (BYuT) and two deputies from the Our Ukraine–People's Self-Defense Bloc faction. MP Ivan Pliusch (at the time an independent MP) joined the group on February 15, 2011.Taras Chornovil joined Reforms for the Future soon after. Setting up a faction without a party is not uncommon in Ukraine's parliamentary history. Several influential parties have been founded after they had already founded a faction in the Verkhovna Rada, examples of this are the Party of Regions, All-Ukrainian Union "Fatherland" and Labour Ukraine.
