Thank You for Your Support

I want to extend my deepest thanks to everyone who supported me during the 2024 UK General Election, whether you're here in Havant or anywhere across the country.

Thanks to your backing, I was proud to receive 23.6% of the vote, coming within just 3% of the winning candidate.  That result wouldn’t have been possible without the encouragement, generosity, and trust of so many of you.

To everyone who donated, volunteered, shared kind words, or offered constructive feedback, thank you. Your support meant everything to me, and I am grateful.

Reflections on 2024 — A Turning Point

The 2024 election marked a major shift in British politics. Just as the 2015 election was dominated by Brexit, this time the spotlight was on the collapse of the Conservative Party and their failure to deliver on the promises they made to the British people.

In 2015, Havant elected a staunch pro-Remain Conservative MP, who in 2024 remains our MP, despite two-thirds of local voters later backing Leave in the EU Referendum. That disconnect was a clear warning sign.

Now in 2024, we’ve seen history repeat itself in a different way. The Conservatives have overseen record immigration, unprecedented borrowing, and a series of broken manifesto commitments leading to nothing functioning properly.  While the Liberal Democrats and Greens held steady, the real story was the dramatic collapse of Conservative support.

I had hoped those lost votes would help fuel real change, but instead, many shifted to Labour.  Meanwhile, turnout dropped by 5% (around 3,500 voters), suggesting that many disillusioned Conservatives simply stayed home.

The Labour government is failing to deliver the outcomes people expect, and this may lead to widespread regret in the years ahead.  Their policies are increasing both legal and illegal immigration while significantly raising taxes to fund expansive unaffordable spending initiatives like Net Zero.

Looking Ahead to 2029

Despite the challenges, I remain optimistic and determined.  I’ve been deeply moved by the encouragement I’ve received from many local residents urging me to stand again for Advance UK, including some who voted Labour, and I will.

With the next General Election expected on or before July 2029, I hope to be standing again in Havant, on a platform of both Honesty and Integrity.

If elected, I make this promise to you, I will always put:

• Country first
• Constituency second
• Party third
• Myself last

Thank you once again for your support. The journey continues, and I hope you will be part of it.

Feel free to drop me a message on my contact page, and I'll reply promptly.

sincerely yours   John Perry
