North Cornwall
Rowland O'Connor

Rowland O'Connor is not a career politician, nor did he ever envision entering the political arena. However, witnessing the disarray caused by the actions—or inactions—of elected officials and political parties in the United Kingdom has compelled him to step forward. His decision to engage in politics stems from a deep-seated concern for the future of his beloved country and the well-being of its people.

A Call to Action Amidst a National Crisis

In 2023, the United Kingdom faces a series of unprecedented challenges. Uncontrolled illegal immigration continues unabated, with tens of thousands crossing the borders each year. Despite the staggering financial burden on taxpayers, the government seems either unable or unwilling to address the issue effectively. Meanwhile, the National Health Service struggles under the weight of a patient backlog exceeding 7.4 million, and public sector strikes are reminiscent of the tumultuous 1970s.

Economic Woes and the Cost of Living Crisis

The country is also grappling with soaring inflation, with no clear strategy from the Bank of England. Many citizens are finding it increasingly difficult to afford basic necessities such as housing, food, and energy. This economic instability is further exacerbated by net-zero policies being imposed without public consent. These policies, dictated by global entities like the United Nations and the World Economic Forum, are contributing to higher costs of living through taxes and utility bill levies, leaving many to question their true benefit.

A Broken System and a Loss of Trust

The tax burden is at its highest in 70 years, while the quality and availability of public services continue to decline. The erosion of public trust in the political system is evident, following a series of scandals involving misuse of expenses, "partygate," and other unethical behaviors. Confidence in political leadership is perhaps at an all-time low.

A Commitment to Decency, Honesty, and Truth

Rowland O'Connor believes it is his duty to give back to a nation that has provided him with opportunities and freedom throughout his life. He is committed to standing up for the values of respect, decency, and moral integrity—values that once defined British society. Running as a potential Parliamentary representative for North Cornwall, his goal is to be a voice for those who feel disenfranchised and to advocate for a return to common-sense governance that prioritizes the well-being of all citizens.
