Matthew Swainson

Matthew Swainson dedicated 14 years to leading local and national chapters of Round Table in Hong Kong, a period during which he engaged deeply in the mission of helping individuals and communities help themselves. His experience in Hong Kong offered him a unique perspective on the challenges faced by Hong Kongers as they valiantly fought for self-determination against an overbearing state. Witnessing their struggle and eventual defeat had a profound impact on him.

A Parallel Struggle: Brexit and the Need for Change

Matthew Swainson draws a parallel between the current national crisis in Britain and the struggles he observed in Hong Kong. He contends that Brexit has been compromised by faceless bureaucrats and timid politicians who, fearful of failure, have shied away from pursuing real success. He believes that this reluctance has led to a stagnation of progress and an erosion of democratic values.

The Crisis Facing the Nation

Swainson identifies a range of issues currently plaguing the nation: a breakdown in civility, law and order, biological realities, fiscal responsibility, and national defense. He argues that the state has become too large and inflexible, impeding effective governance and reform. He calls for a decisive action to eliminate inefficiencies and mediocrity within public institutions, advocating for a collective effort to address these pressing challenges.

A Vision for Reform: Matthew Swainson's Commitment

Swainson is convinced that only one party has the vision necessary to enact meaningful reform in the United Kingdom. He pledges that, if elected to Parliament, he will not rest until the promise of a renewed and prosperous England is fulfilled. His commitment is to relentlessly pursue transformative change and build a better future for the nation, embodying the spirit of progress and dedication.
