Reginald Chester-Sterne is the Reform UK Prospective Parliamentary Candidate for New Forest West. We spoke with Reginald about his decision to stand.
Can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers?
Born in The New Forest and lived here all my life. I’ve owned several local businesses and still run 2 de-pasture pedigree English Longhorn cattle on the Forest. An Engineer by profession, I have worked overseas in 17 different countries managing large projects and diverse workforces.
What made you decide to stand for Reform UK?
Alienated one too many times by the Conservatives. This country needs a change to honest politics and politicians that work for the country and its people, not themselves and their friends. I am willing to spend time and effort changing this country so it is a fit place to live again.
You’re the Spokesman for New Forest West what’s made you decide to represent this area?
I’ve lived here all my life and running businesses here know the trials and tribulations faced by people. Committed to the area and its protection. Breadth and width of life experience can be brought to bear to solve the myriad problems we currently face.
What do you see as the big concerns for the constituency and what issues do you hope to champion?
We have a multi layer multi agency management structure for the Forest that does not always work in tandem or in a joined up way. The spread of Southampton’s port could become a problem.
For those eager to help, how can they get involved in the campaign?
You can contact me via email at [email protected]. We need fund raisers and leaflet deliverers to spread our message. You can also find out more at https://www.reformparty.uk/new-forest-west-constituency.
