Core Political Beliefs

Jason Patchett is driven by a strong belief in celebrating national achievements rather than dwelling on failures. He advocates for a shift towards Proportional Representation to address the outdated nature of Britain’s political landscape. He questions the fairness of the current system, highlighting the disparity in representation as seen in the 2015 elections where UKIP received nearly 4 million votes but secured only one seat, while the SNP with 1.5 million votes gained 56 seats.

A staunch supporter of meritocracy, Jason voices concerns over Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) policies, which he believes are fostering societal divisions. He argues that meritocracy should prevail and that equality under one law must be the focus, rather than reverting to outdated divisive practices.

In terms of national security, Jason emphasizes the urgent need for reinvestment in Britain’s defense capabilities. With global uncertainties, he stresses that Britain must enhance its preparedness to address contemporary threats effectively.

Community and Local Advocacy

Jason is a compelling public speaker and is dedicated to representing Reform UK's policies and engaging in thoughtful debates. In North Norfolk, he is particularly focused on addressing the area’s designation as a "dental desert." He aims to launch a campaign to attract more dentists and ensure accessible and affordable dental care for all residents.

Jason is also committed to improving local services and infrastructure, advocating for more GP surgeries, dental practitioners, school places, and police presence. By collaborating with local industries such as energy, farming, and manufacturing, he seeks to drive growth and development within the constituency.
