Roger Clark is the Reform UK Prospective Parliamentary Candidate for Harrow East. We spoke with Roger about his decision to stand.
“My overarching feeling is that our politicians and most institutions of the state no longer represent us, are no longer fit for purpose”
Can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers?
Professionally I am an internal auditor. I have travelled a great deal. I find the world a fascinating place. I’ve been increasingly unhappy over many years that the UK has been declining on multiple levels. My overarching feeling is that our politicians and most institutions of the state no longer represent us, are no longer fit for purpose, are no longer good for us, indeed are betraying us by causing our decline.
What made you decide to stand for Reform UK?
The world suffers excess population growth greatly increasing likelihood of conflict, poverty, energy and food insecurity, and famine. All are now beginning to occur in Britain. Many millions of people want to come to the UK. The UK needs to stabilise its population at 64 million (already excessive) by protecting its borders and reduce net entry to zero. It is failing to do this, on the contrary the UK government granted 1.2 million visas last year. The Tory government needs to be dismissed.
“The major parties won’t reform very much, and they don’t know how to do it and they lack the courage to do it”
What do you see as the big concerns for the constituency and what issues do you hope to champion?
There is rapidly growing pressure on all resources: schools, NHS, dentists, GP’s, housing, roads, open green space, policing (because of increasing crime), to name a few. These pressures are mainly caused by excess population growth. Britain needs major reforms urgently. The major parties won’t reform very much, and they don’t know how to do it and they lack the courage to do it. The national issue I hope to champion personally is quite different – reform of the House of Lords which is a dysfunctional, overblown, costly, and ineffective outdated entity.
