Brian Ralfe, Independent 5, Hove

Name: Brian Ralfe

Candidate for: Hove

Party: Independent 5

Votes: 85

Profile:

Why I want to be an MP: Having been born and bred here in Brighton and Hove I am in touch with the feelings of local people and have an understanding of the issues that affect them. Looking back over the last
13 years of Labour, the illegal wars, expenses, ministers being thrown out of Government only to return as European Secretary and then House of Lords, one can only assume the time is right for common sense people to govern.

I could really go on but this Labour Government has to be removed and quick. I served in the Falklands War and in the last Gulf War in the Royal Navy. It brings me to tears watching the troops coming home in coffins. It should not be happening.

Born: Brighton, 10/1/45
Address: Eaton Manor, Hove
Occupation: Alternative pantomime producer
Marital status: Single
Interests: Theatre, football, swimming, writing
