Ian Rex-Hawkes

My message is simple – the current government is not working in your best interest. Our NHS is in peril, ambulances take far too long to reach emergency cases, police forces have been so budget-starved that they have had to rely on known sex offenders within their ranks. This is just the start of the list of problems with the current government.

Unfortunately the system at the moment doesn’t work. Our democracy is broken, because it almost always boils down to a choice between Conservative and Labour, both of which have very similar manifestos and both of which are currently committed to keeping this broken system. I firmly value the idea of democratic representation. That means that I want your votes to actually determine the amount of power a party has.

Ian, thank you once again for your support. It means a lot.

Thank you so much for [creating this petition] and so amazingly quickly!!!

You did a brilliant job on both the blog and petition. Some of the NHS staff were even impressed with the speed at which you addressed this, and I have had varying positive comments from friends who have read your post.

Having worked with Ian I can say that I found him incredibly transparent and honest which I think would be rare and much needed in today political arena. He is also very clever, direct and a great communicator.

Ian is a very smart individual, but more importantly is honest and truly cares about people.

He is an unselfish individual and would absolutely have the public's best interests at heart.

I met Ian a few months ago for the first time and straight away I felt confortable with him and I thought: " Ok I would trust that guy".

Throughout the 12 years I have known Ian, he has always demonstrated to be very bright, kind and upright. I've seen all of these attributes in his personal life, for instance, in our sport association he volunteered as treasurer where he improved the overall system and costs as well as championing charitable giving & generous donations. He'll definitely make a difference in a bigger role in politics.

You have the moral integrity and high standards in all aspects of the requirements of your potential constituents. You will stand up to injustice and defend those deemed to have had injustice against them. You are committed to environmental change and to look after the less well off in society.

First and foremost, your personal ethos of kindness and care for others is your top qualification. That you are also highly driven with a need to be productive, and understand very complex matters such as financial systems, makes you stand out.

You are one of the most principled people that I know. You are committed to making changes that support the most vulnerable in our society and you don’t give up when you know you’re fighting for what’s right.

Integrity.
Unlike the rest of us who are disillusioned with the lack of honesty, morals, and the unfair and outdated ‘public schoolboy network’ displayed by this government, you have decided to stand up and make a difference.
Your constituents couldn’t have a better candidate.

Having known Ian for a number of years during which we worked closely as Financial Advisers, I am confident that he would make an excellent MP. Ian is an intelligent man who has the ability to absorb, understand and manage complex information quickly; I have, on many occasions, witnessed him do this whilst retaining the ability to explain it, in a manner which is easy to understand.

I have seen Ian display the courage of his convictions on a professional level, where he has put the clients needs before that of the company and have no doubt he would carry this attitude into public life.

Ian and I have disagreed on politics in the past, but he has always listened carefully to any position and taken time to offer a thoughtful response. If he became an MP I am sure his constituents would benefit from an effective and hard working representative.

On this website, I’m hoping to leave regular updates on my actions and views of both local and national issues. If you would like to bring an issue to my attention, please let me know and I will do what I can to look into it. If you would like me to come and talk to your group, again I would be very happy to do this.

Separately, I am starting to record a podcast where I talk political and economic issues with people that actually face them, and we try to collectively reason how best we would solve the issues currently facing the country and its citizens. If you are interested, you can find out more right here on my site or get in touch with me using the contact form.
