Karl Robert Pollard's policies
Statement to voters
Firstly, I wanted to thank the party and it's members for selecting me as their candidate for this election, it is an honor.
Full statement
I was born in Northern England to a widowed mother on a council estate and I am married with two grown up Daughters who have given us two wonderful Grandchildren. My wife and I along with her parents moved to Wales a number of years ago where we had a successful holiday letting business. I live on a smallholding where we farm Soay Sheep, Anglo Nubian Goats and a small number of Cows. I also work in retail management for a Welsh company and my role entails traveling and managing stores all over the Ceredigion area (mostly Lampeter, Aberystwyth and Cardigan) so I’m not a career politician, I’m just someone like you who feels that things need to change and and we need to break the cosy cabals both in Cardiff and Westminster, while offering a genuine alternative to the choke-hold applied by the main two parties.
Obviously, being a small holder and knowing many farmers, I will pledge to help the agricultural sector which has been unfairly blamed for many of the issues facing society today and, if elected, I would do all I could to assist these hard-working men and women. I am a firm believer in the "No Farmers, No Food" movement and I would strongly oppose any further regulation of farmers or implementation of the Net Zero policies that are crippling both the economy and the country, one household at a time.
Furthermore, working in retail, I am seeing firsthand the effects of the economic mismanagement of the two main parties. It is heartbreaking seeing people having to decide between heating or eating, or watching them try and scrimp and save to get from one salary payment to the next. It is especially frustrating that the Tories are looking to decimate benefits for disabled people while they continue allowing the importation of migrants while paying millions of pounds per day for the privilege.
Obviously, my personal vision is aligned with that of the party I stand for, especially where our young people are concerned. We need to help them achieve academically and vocationally as well as support mental health provision in this area which is woefully underfunded and inadequate according to information and case studies I’ve reviewed. Finally, I’m not going to pretend I can fix things on my own and make promises I cannot keep, we’ve all had enough of that from Welsh Labour. But I will work as hard as possible to help everyone and not just those can levy influence. Wales and the UK need change, and politics needs Reform UK.
