Five veteran members of the English Democrats, the only
party putting forward a manifesto solely for England, have stepped up to the
plate alongside party chairman Robin Tilbrook and his deputy Therese Hirst as
candidates in the forthcoming general election.
Stephen Morris, who put up a creditable performance in the
recent Greater Manchester Mayoral Election, stands in Barnsley Central
alongside Kevin Riddiough in Barnsley East.
David Allen, who in recent years has represented the English Democrats
in elections for Police and Crime Commissioner and the Doncaster Mayoralty,
stands in Doncaster North again – having done so in 2015.
Janus Polenceus, one of only three candidates outside of Yorkshire, represents the Party in Holborn and St Pancras. He was the Party’s candidate in Streatham in the 2010 general election. Stephen Goldspink, a veteran of Parliamentary, Mayoral and Police and Crime Commissioner Elections, stands in North East Cambridgeshire.
Robin Tilbrook, having stood in Brentwood and Ongar in the 2010 and 2015 general elections, has put himself forward in Clacton. Therese Hirst, who was Chairman of Veritas when that party merged with the English Democrats in 2015, stands in Bradford South. She represented the English Democrats in Bradford West in the general election of 2015 and was also the Party’s candidate in West Yorkshire for the Police and Crime Commissioner election of 2016.

Regrettably the Party has no candidates in the West of
England having stood 2 in 2015 and 8 in 2010.
The English Democrats Party campaigns for an English
Parliament. It also calls for a
referendum on English Independence, although I have never been entirely sure
whether this means the English Democrats support an independent England or merely
aim to allow the English a referendum on the issue. I would prefer independence although,
clearly, an English Parliament would have to come first.
