I have applied to register ESSEX PEOPLE with the Electoral Commission.

Full statement

Our application should be approved in September so ESSEX PEOPLE will be on the ballot if there is a 2nd Clacton by-election.

The purpose of ESSEX PEOPLE is to only represent the interests of the people who live in Essex with zero influence from corporate lobbyists and funders.

I am standing as an Independent. If elected I promise to move to Clacton-on-Sea which will be easy as I rent a flat in Edinburgh. Our policies are listed online. These will be added to and ratified by members on the 1st October.

Over the next three months I plan to register 114 new Local Community Parties for every area of the UK. All to be powered quickly by people locally. The full list of party names is published on the link featured on our EssexPeople.org home page.

ESSEX PEOPLE is different from all the other options. As your MP I will be bound by our constitution to vote as per instructed by the members of the party from the Clacton constituency on a vote-by-vote basis through an online/app voting system. Clactonians should join. Membership is free.

Everyone is predicting a second by-election probably in December. Over the next three months we plan to employ a dozen Clactonians for 5000 hours to secure ten thousand signatures for our petition to STOP the Party Whip.

In the 2024 General Election 32,315 Clactonians did not vote. ESSEX PEOPLE can easily win a 2nd by-election especially if 10,000 sign our petition which is on our website.
