Robert Hall-Palmer

Robert Hall-Palmer is deeply committed to the idea of reform, particularly in reversing the changes introduced by the Labour government under Tony Blair. He believes that the UK's shift towards aligning with European models of governance led to the abandonment of its unique and effective system. For him, returning to a central power structure under a Sovereign Parliament is essential to restore the nation’s traditional governance.

Abolishing the BBC License Fee

One of Robert’s key policy priorities is the abolition of the BBC license fee. He believes that the current funding model is outdated and unfair, and he advocates for a more modern approach to public broadcasting that better reflects the needs and preferences of today’s citizens.

Restoring Parliamentary Authority

Robert Hall-Palmer argues for restoring Parliament's veto power, enabling it to respond swiftly and effectively to pressing issues, such as the migrant crisis. He believes that re-empowering Parliament is crucial for maintaining the sovereignty and integrity of the UK’s governance.

Opposition to Net Zero Policies

Robert is a vocal critic of Net Zero policies, viewing them as a dangerous and misguided ideology that could cause significant harm. He points to the recent skepticism from the UAE and Russia at COP28, which questioned the scientific consensus on climate change. Robert believes that, given the lack of global agreement on the origins of hydrocarbons, humanity is not equipped to create accurate climate models or predict future changes.

Questioning Climate Models

He emphasizes that all existing climate models share a common flaw—their consistent failure to predict climate changes accurately. For Robert, this inconsistency calls into question the reliability of current climate science and the policies based on it. He advocates for a more cautious and evidence-based approach to environmental policy.
