BREAKING Julian Reid is The Just Party Candidate for Maidenhead

We are delighted to announce that Julian Reid (JR) is standing as the official Just Party candidate in the Maidenhead Constituency.

He wrote a letter published in the Maidenhead Advertiser last week, under the title of “Alternative Conservative Representation Needed”.  Key points in his letter were:

• “I am concerned at the lack of a suitable Parliamentary candidate”
• “While this electorate voted ‘Remain’ by a majority… as we know fear of a ‘Hard’ Brexit is already weakening sterling, slowing both consumption and the economy, and raising inflation.”
• “Am I alone in considering an ‘alternative Conservative’, driven entirely by and representing specifically the needs of those in the Royal Borough, might better represent our interests?”

This clearly struck a chord with a number of Maidenhead voters, who contacted him and then put us in touch.  "Maidenhead Matters Most"

Julian Reid is:

1. An international banker with 40-plus years’ experience across Asia, the USA and Europe.  Awards include “Director of the Year” from “Institutional Investor” magazine.
2. Experienced and successful negotiator with numerous governments across Asia.  Julian is concerned about the way Theresa May is conducting negotiations so far.
3. Successful political experience in the defeat of Prime Minister Gough Whitlam by Malcolm Fraser in Australia in 1975

So Julian is a formidable opponent to our own Prime Minister in Maidenhead!

A banker named Macron has become President of France, representing a new party “En Marche!” which is very similar in outlook to The Just Party.  His appointment has opened the doors to a similar event here, with Julian becoming the MP for Maidenhead.

Note to Editors

The Just Party has a vision of bringing together “Compassionate Conservatives” with the “Progressives” from Labour.  Julian is clearly from the Conservative side, and we are aiming to recruit from the Labour side too. This is before and after GE17.
