Independent Candidates: Advocating for True Representation


In a political landscape often dominated by party affiliations, independent candidates stand out as a beacon of hope for authentic representation. They are free from the constraints and pressures that come with party politics, empowering them to prioritise the needs and desires of their constituents over party agendas.


Unfettered by Party Politics
Independent candidates bring a fresh perspective to governance, enabling them to make decisions based solely on the best interests of their residents. Unlike their party-affiliated counterparts, who may face pressure to align with party platforms or vote against their constituents’ wishes, independent candidates operate without the obligations of party loyalty. This freedom fosters an environment where critical issues can be addressed genuinely and thoughtfully, allowing candidates to engage with their communities without the limitations of partisan politics.


True Representation for All
Independent candidates are driven by a commitment to serve their constituents. They prioritise local concerns, community values, and the unique needs of their residents. This dedication leads to more responsive, effective governance, as independent candidates are not beholden to the whims of party leadership. Their loyalty lies with the people they represent.

I am now standing as an Independent Councillor in Cornwall. 
I have moved away from representing the Reform Party to stand ad Independent Councillor in the local, May elections.
 
During the general election national issues and problems were central to the campaigns of the political parties, including mine.

From my experience ad a Parish Councillor, I understand and appreciate that local issues are uppermost in peoples minds, with concerns re their quality of life.

Local problems can be aired and resolved through local government. Problems with frequency of buses, access to NHS dentists, doctors appointments, anti-social behaviour, housing and accommodation. Speeding and even the up keep of roads and paths are uppermost in peoples priorities that effect's their quality of life.

   The majority of my career was spent within the private security sector, managing business development and marketing.  Qualified in marketing and separately in psychology, I became involved in the delivery of behavioural courses designed to change antisocial behaviour, through  cognitive behavioural based programs with groups of adults.

   I was a Magistrate for 16 years retiring in October, 2023 that enabled me to devote all of my time in campaigning for the Reform party in the lead up to the General Election and in South East Cornwall in particular. When I became a Magistrate in 2007, I had to swear on a life time oath, part of which states:'I will do right to all manner of people-without fear or favour, affection or ill will'.

   I have previous experience of running a large neighbourhood watch scheme and was involved in two charities for the homeless, managing a large number of volunteers.
 I am a former Parish Councillor with St Stephen in Brannel Parish Council where I sat on two committees: planning and human resources. I abide by the Councils' Code of Conduct for public servants, that states I will act with Integrity, Selflessness: Honesty: Accountability: Openness: To Uphold the Law: To demonstrate Leadership, to have Respect for Others and to act Objectively.

   From all those experiences I appreciate the issues that are important to residents. I take my role as a public servant seriously. I value honesty, respect and integrity and respect that all people have a right to be heard. Good listening skills is one of my attributes, another is getting things done.

  





 

  • Independent Candidates will :
    Abide wholeheartedly by the spirit and letter of the Seven Principles of Public Life set out by Lord Nolan in 1995: 
    Selflessness, integrity, objectivity, accountability, openness, honesty and leadership.
  • Be guided by considered evidence, our real world experience and expertise, our constituencies and our consciences.
  • Be free from the control of any political party, pressure group or whip.
  • Be non-discriminatory, ethical and committed to pluralism.
  • Make decisions transparently and openly at every stage and level of the political process, enabling people to see how decisions are made and the evidence on which they are based.
  • Listen, consulting our communities constantly and innovatively.
  • Treat political opponents with courtesy and respect, challenging them when we believe they are wrong, and agreeing with them when we believe they are right.
  • Resist abuses of power and patronage and promote democracy at every level.
  • Work with other elected independents as a Group with a chosen spokesperson.
  • Claim expenses, salaries and compensation openly so the public can judge the value for money of our activities.
