Cllr Ian Buchanan (left)<\/p>\n

By William Mills<\/p>\n

On a bright and sunny April afternoon UKIP’s Ian Buchanan flooded Rottingdean with supporters and volunteer helpers in this once safe Brighton Tory stronghold.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Councillor Ian Buchanan, UKIP’s parliamentary candidate for Brighton Kemptown and Peacehaven visited Rottingdean Coastal ward for an afternoon of canvassing and was upbeat about his prospects.<\/p>\n

Ian Buchanan said;<\/strong><\/p>\n

I think there is all to play for. The electorate are tired of the traditional LibLabCon whose policies have all moved to the centre and therefore you can’t place a piece of tissue paper between them.<\/p>\n

I’ve loved Rottingdean every time I’ve visited it since I was a child and my parents used to drive down for the day from our home in Surrey.<\/p>\n

The reason UKIP is a like a breath of fresh air to our voters is that we have open and transparent policies that relate to ordinary people. UKIP listens to their concerns and the manifesto reflects this.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Asked why did he think the people of Rottingdean were warming to you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

He replied;<\/strong><\/p>\n

The people are realising that UKIP will fight for a better allocation of the adult social services budget than exists at present.<\/p>\n

UKIP will fund this out of the 55 million pounds a day we will save by leaving the EU, as well as by carefully reducing the international aid budget where possible.<\/p>\n

As a child I fondly remember climbing over the rocks and paddling in the pools before finally settling in nearby Peacehaven 30 years ago.<\/p>\n

It is clear that UKIP is an open and friendly party, and our manifesto addresses the concerns of everyday people and therefore we shall run a positive campaign based on our policies and not attack individuals of other parties.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Cllr Buchanan is a pleasant down to earth person who is easy to talk to. He had a sizable group of supporters and seemed to find time for everybody.<\/p>\n
