No English Democrats candidate in the recent Lewisham East parliamentary by-election. Robin Tilbrook gives reasons why.


In a recent article on his blog Robin Tilbrook, Chairman of the English Democrats, reflects on why there was no English Democrats candidate in the recent Lewisham East parliamentary by-election.  He notes the Lewisham East electorate’s lack of enthusiasm to identify as “British” let alone “English”. 


Here is part of Mr Tilbrook’s article: 
      

“When I was aware that the Labour MP, Heidi Alexander, was stepping down and causing a by-election in the Lewisham East constituency, I was immediately very doubtful as to whether it was worth the English Democrats standing there.  Although I should say that I would never discourage any of our members from standing even in the most unpromising areas if they really want to do so and have the necessary resources to do so.  Even in the most discouraging constituencies there may be some potential converts to the Cause of England!


Lewisham East is certainly such a seat.  Looking at the 2011 Census results Lewisham is a place where relatively few people identified as being “English” and surprisingly few even identified as being in any sense multi-cultural “British”.  

Since 2011 the misleadingly named “Conservative” Party (which actually is led by “Liberal” zealots) has continued with the unrestricted, uncontrolled mass immigration of New Labour and so every single year since then half a million or more immigrants have come to England, many of them settling in places like Lewisham.  That together with “white flight” or the continuing movement of English people out of such places, has led to a near total population displacement where the indigenous English population is largely absent.”


Given the circumstances described in the article I suggest there was little point in the English Democrats accepting the almost certain loss of a £500 deposit in a valiant attempt to garner the votes of the few English patriots who might be found in the constituency.
Robin Tilbrook also commented on the performance of UKIP, the Democrats and Veterans Party and Anne Marie Waters’ For Britain Movement.  The entire article can be found here:
