My name is Daniel Kersten, and I am honoured to be your Reform UK parliamentary candidate for Weald of Kent in the upcoming General Election.

Full statement

Though new to politics, I am passionate about advocating for change that resonates deeply with my own values and views.

We must defend core democratic values, civil liberties, and the right to free speech. Britain has an amazing culture, unbreakable communities, and an incredible heritage. It's time to stop all the nonsense holding us back and move forward together.

I am a father of two beautiful children and have been a foster carer for the past 12 years. Starting work at the age of 14, I have built a career spanning over 30 years in the private sector, working with British startups and global corporations. My personal experiences have fuelled my dedication to advocating for policies that empower individuals and communities, and I bring the same principles of successful business management—delivering results, creating value, and working with dedication and integrity—to my public service.

As your Member of Parliament, I will fight for our community and work tirelessly to address the challenges impacting our health, education, and overall well-being.

I will represent the majority and bring back common sense, my priories are:

Secure our borders and fix immigration, reducing pressure on housing and critical services. Reform the health service by cutting bureaucracy and top-heavy management structures, freeing up funds for more frontline staff.

Ensure lower taxes and higher salaries while drastically reducing the size of government.

We must help people off benefits to get qualifications and back to work.

I will fight to protect freedom of speech and personal liberties and work to stop wasteful spending in Net Zero, Ulez and LTNs.

In our constituency, my priorities are:

Secure proper Infrastructure

Proper planning and development that preserves our community character, enhancing the lives of the elderly, and creating futures for the young.

Public services that deliver genuine value and protect our community.

Help and support our local businesses and farmers to prosper and grow.

I am standing for Reform UK to be a genuine alternative to the establishment parties; a party with an aspirational vision based on common sense and British values.

Together, we can significantly improve our constituency. Join us, volunteer, and be part of the campaign!
