JAMES GLANCY Leave voters feel insulted and ignored — my Brexit Party will act for the people
James Glancy, who is standing for the Brexit Party, says it's vital we stand up to the EU super-state
I AM proud to be British and have been willing to risk my life to defend our values of tolerance, diversity and the rule of law.
But our greatest asset — our free and tolerant democracy — is under threat.
The failure of our politicians to listen to the people — and their complete lack of leadership — has compelled me to take a stand.
I am standing for the Brexit Party on the single issue of democracy. We have assembled a diverse group of candidates from across the political spectrum, from former Tory Ann Widdecombe to left-wing grandee Claire Fox.
We are all unified in our desire to pressure Westminster to deliver what the people instructed.
It is vital we restore parliamentary democracy. Through my service with the Royal Marines and the Special Boat Service, I witnessed the Arab Spring first-hand and saw the horrors suffered by a people with no representation in their political system.
I never thought our political class would deliberately undermine the people.
But they have done so by failing to deliver on the 2016 referendum. This after the 2018 General Election manifestos of the Conservative and Labour parties clearly pledged to honour the result.
Voters on all sides have been betrayed. The final straw for me was seeing the men who sent me to a questionable war in Afghaistan — Tony Blair, Lord Adonis and Alastair Campbell — conspiring to undermine the people.
