Biography of Tristan Morrow

Tristan Morrow, a steadfast advocate for community empowerment and local governance, has firmly rooted himself in the heart of Ballymoney, Northern Ireland, over the past decade. Born in the historic city of Kilkenny, Tristan’s journey northward with his family marked the beginning of a lifelong commitment to seeking a better, more equitable life for himself and those around him. His early years were defined by a series of diverse employment opportunities, from the fields of agriculture to the fast-paced environment of retail, each role imbuing him with a rich tapestry of experiences and an unwavering work ethic.

Renowned among his peers and employers as a hardworking individual, Tristan’s career trajectory is a testament to his ability to deliver results and navigate complex logistical challenges. His work history spans several sectors, including serving as a farm supplier, farm hand, wax product manufacturer, and retail worker. These roles have not only sharpened his logistical acumen but have also deepened his understanding of the systemic inefficiencies that plague his community and the wider region.

Tristan’s commitment to service extends beyond his professional endeavors. He has been a dynamic force in volunteerism, particularly in environmental conservation and community projects, often remarking on the importance of doing the work that politicians often overlook. His involvement in such initiatives reflects a deep-seated belief in proactive community engagement and the power of collective action.

A fervent proponent of unionism, Tristan views unions as essential instruments for achieving political and workplace equality. His advocacy for Northern Ireland’s autonomy is rooted in a desire to see the region thrive, free from the constraints of external political entities. Tristan’s libertarian principles advocate for a healthcare system and political decisions controlled at the local level, highlighting the inefficiencies and inequities brought about by centralisation.

In Tristan’s eyes, the challenges faced by towns across the North Coast, particularly in healthcare accessibility, epitomise the failings of a centralised system. His vision for the future includes the establishment of local NHS councils to democratise medical care and alleviate the strain on resources and facilities.

Tristan Morrow’s beliefs in leadership diverge from the conventional political framework that has long dominated Northern Ireland. He argues for a return to genuine community leadership, where decisions are made for the benefit of the local populace, not for foreign corporations or political gain. Through his advocacy and actions, Tristan embodies the change he wishes to see, championing a future where Northern Ireland is a beacon of self-sufficiency, environmental stewardship, and true democracy.

Tristan's Main Policies

1 – Healthcare policy
If elected, I will bring decentralisation to the national health service. It’s time local NHS workers regain control over their workplace, and bring an end to the endless waiting lines caused by centralisation. By bringing our local clinics back into full swing we will lessen the burden on clinics like Coleraine’s Causeway Coast clinic. Loosening regulations on ambulance call outs to make our ambulance response more flexible will allow for more ambulances on the roads.

2 – Agricultural policy
I will be getting rid of many of the restrictions on farmers and ridding farmers of bureaucratic burdens which hold them back. Our farms have been taxed and battered time and time again via rates and regulations which cost them dearly. I will be getting rid of much of these taxes and regulations. I will also be pushing back against any new taxes which may be pushed by multi-national non-governmental bodies such as the World Economic Forum. I will make it my duty to back small owned natural, sustainable farmers in NI against multi-national industrial farms.

3 – Infrastructure policy
I will push for the disbandment of the department of infrastructure and restore the power back to local councils and communities. There is no need for towns, villages and rural communities to seek permission to fix their roads from a department in Belfast. This department of infrastructure is an outdated centralised bureaucratic department which has held back our rural communities from having their roads fixed. I will push for localising control of our roads to local councils and the individual.

4 – Land tax policy
I will advocate for the implementation of a land tax over NI. This policy will nationalise one of our most limited resources, land. This will benefit many small towns and rural communities whose land has been bought up by multinational companies in recent years and punish those multinational companies for depriving and extorting communities of valuable land.

5 – Police service policy
I will reform and restructure the police force of NI. I will bring effective and efficient policing into practice which has been tried and tested over seas. This will include cutting away a majority of bureaucratic paperwork, an introduction of a open door police station “Kobans” on our high streets, and a localising of police to local communities, pushing against the centralising of our police force.

6 – Education policy
I will introduce a new School Education Council. This will allow for parents to be involved with the teaching of their children going into primary and high school. This will enable for quick, flexible discussion between the teachers and parents to easily communicate what help their children might need in the schooling system such as assistant and what subject matters their child may or may not be comfortable with or capable of learning. This has been tried and tested in many countries across the world and has been shown to be helpful for the teachers, parents and students worldwide. It’s time for NI to catch up with education standards as the rest of the world has left our, once ahead of its time, education system in the dirt. This is one of many reforms I will propose in future to get our education system where we need it to be.

7 – Firearms policy
I will ensure the right of the citizens to “bear arms”. It is important that in our society, the citizens of our nation have the right to equipment that the government has. It is only right and just that we create new training schools and clubs for widely available training in the use of fire power. Our shooting clubs and gun ranges across our nation are far behind modern standards compared to Switzerland, Poland and Finland. All of these nations have wide open access to firearms and minimal incidents. It’s time for NI to have brand new revolutionary restructuring and reform to guns, as it’s important for people to stand on their own two feet against a tyrannical regime or invaders as the Ukraine war has shown.

8 – Economic policy
I will advocate for the British pound to be backed by a gold standard once again. Much like Switzerland and Zimbabwe in recent years have both done. This has been tried and proven to massively improve the wealth and worth of our money, and enables the market not to be backed by estimations and loans, but rather by the actual value of production compared to physical valuable alloy. That also stops government based companies from being able to dominate the market. It also enables smaller companies to be able to compete on an even playing field.

9 – Taxation policy
I will get rid of unjust taxation. The government intervention in the workplace ownership of goods being tax will be gotten rid of. I will push for free trade which means all trade businesses and individuals which would be normally taxed in the current system will no longer be taxed. It is not the place of the government to take any of the profit earned by transactions between individuals and businesses who freely trade with each other. I will also get rid of many taxes such as, business water tax, TV Licence tax, car tax, and I will get rid of many taxes and regulations which punish small businesses but which do not affect large companies. I will be instead flipping this around empowering small businesses by letting them keep more of their earnings and multinational companies from outside our nation will be still paying to do trade within NI. This will enable local small businesses to catch up and be able to compete on a level playing field. It is important for NI to do all it can to become more self-sufficient.

10 – Digital currency policy
Decentralised digital currency such as bitcoin will be recognised on a national level. This has been done in many countries across the world and it’s time for NI not to be left behind in this endeavour. Bitcoin has been proven to be worth 10,000s more than our GBP, and it would be wise for us as a country to open our market to these new currencies which are used regularly around the world by big investors.

11- Builders permission policy
I will be getting rid of building permission laws. It is no business of the government what you build on your property. This will also get rid of many delays in building projects which otherwise would of been finished years ago if they were allowed to go ahead. Farmers have been held back from meeting expectations due to the building permission laws holding them back, such as in building necessary structures “a temporary holding pen”, which building regulations have not allowed. This has held back much progress our local farms would have otherwise made if allowed to do their jobs and projects. It’s time to get building projects done nationwide and getting rid of builders permission will massively help towards this end.

12 – Natural forests restoration policy
I will push for an opportunity to local land squatting elites the chance of being paid/land tax breaks if they were to replant natural and sustainable forestry on unused wasted land. This would go towards the restoration of NI’s natural forests and wild life while benefiting the landowner who otherwise would have let the land continue to be empty. This goes further, we will also offer payment to farmers if they were to restore corners of their fields or land back to natural wild forests. This has been done by independent groups and farmers in England and proven to greatly benefit the farmer and wild life. This will also come with the added benefit of more tourism and visitors to see our beautiful landscape with new natural wildlife and forests.

13 – Marijuana policy 
Anyone over the age of 21 should be allowed to possess or consume marijuana. This includes state residents and adults visiting from other countries so long as they meet the age id requirements. It will be illegal for local businesses and individuals “including parents” to sell or give to minors under the age of 21. Marijuana is not safe for children and will not be allowed to be sold or consumed by childern and under age teens. Marijuana in NI will be taxed at £35 an ounce, leaves and stem at £8 an ounce, and tax payer money will go back into the local area directly and not to high government. Businesses and farms will be required to sign up for a licence to sell and produce marijuana. Individuals will be allowed to cultivate six plants per family, and may be checked on by community authorities, not state police, if thought they may be breaking the laws on marijuana cultivation.
