Main Issues

As an Independent, I will directly represent my constituents, the men and women of this area that pay taxes, and not be influenced by a particular political party.

Honesty, integrity, accountability and common sense have been lacking in previous elections. It is time to restore them. I will do that for you. I believe in regulated free enterprise with a special interest in social welfare. That means it is time to care about and care for the elderly, the disabled, and the less well off.

I know I do not have all the answers. But, I bring a fresh, common sense outlook to the political hothouse that has been suffocating all of us for too long.

We need a House of Commons full of ministers who are truly Independent and care about the needs of the voters they were elected to represent. It is time to set a new example of how government should operate – with honesty and true independence.

I am a Pembrokeshire man, born and bred and proud of it. I have lived here all my life and am thoroughly familiar with the issues that you, the voters, must deal with every day of your lives. I will use this knowledge and represent your interests in Westminster.
