MEDIA ANNOUNCEMENT
Nigel Peacock has declared as an independent candidate for the Tunbridge Wells constituency in the forthcoming general election. A local resident, he is semi-retired and manages a YouTube channel for an American company.
“Both the House of Commons and our local elected council have suffered badly during 2019. Whether you look at the applauding behaviour of MPs in the House of Commons, or the spats and insults thrown by local councillors over the theatre project – it’s time for it to stop.
The view of those of us outside the Commons and the local council chamber is that our elected representatives need to represent us – not fight internal personal battles to our detriment.
We need a different style of politics in our country and that can start with some independent MPs, who can help to bring some calm to the mother of Parliaments.
My reason for standing as your independent candidate for Westminster is to represent our towns at a national level and to focus on what is best for us and for the county as a whole.
Lacking a party whip means that I will be able to contribute and vote on matters which are important to us all in Tunbridge Wells. Being outside a political party, means I am able to vote for the betterment of us all.”
