Well I am certainly no politician that is for sure, but I was stirred into action over the recent expenses scandal, realising that it was a problem across the whole political spectrum and that our politicians have served us very badly just recently, lining their pockets with our money while our brave soldiers give their lives in battle for this nation.
Something has to be done and saying that I have no experience in politics is no excuse for inaction. I have plenty of experience in life and the human condition that qualifies me just as much as any other person for office and service to our nation.
The "No Candidate Deserves My Vote!" party has one aim and that is to introduce a bill to Parliament to have a "None of the above" option added to every local and general election ballot paper of the future. That way you can exercise your democratic right to vote to say that none of the parties currently represents you. It will also encourage your democratic responsibility to turn out to vote.
A MORI poll carried out on behalf of the Electoral Commission in 2001 predicted that up to 30% more voters would turn out to vote at an election if they had an opportunity to vote for no-one.
Stephen Phillips is your "No Candidate Deserves My Vote!" candidate for Stevenage. A vote for Stephen is a vote for "None of the above" bringing democracy to the disaffected.
