Beckenham and Penge
Edward Apostolides

A Lifelong Dedication to Beckenham & Penge

Edward Apostolides is honored to stand as a candidate for Reform UK in the constituency he has proudly called home for nearly three decades. Beckenham & Penge is known for its vibrant and diverse community, representing residents from all walks of life. Edward is deeply committed to ensuring that every voice is heard, a right that has significantly diminished over the past two decades under successive Conservative and Labour governments.

A Background of Real-World Experience

With a background as a single parent, small business owner, and taxpayer, Edward Apostolides brings a wealth of real-world experience that resonates with many in the community. His personal journey enables him to more effectively articulate the interests and concerns of the constituents he aims to represent.

Addressing the Decline in Public Services

The decline witnessed in recent years is profoundly troubling. Edward highlights several pressing issues: unsustainable mass immigration, the economic strain caused by soaring taxes, and the exorbitant rise in the cost of essentials like food, housing, and energy bills. Public services have also suffered, with millions languishing on NHS waiting lists—some for years—and the difficulty of securing face-to-face appointments with GPs. Moreover, the absurd rise of wokeism has impacted institutions such as the police, schools, and universities.

Opposing the Unachievable Net Zero Target

Edward also voices concern over the government’s blind pursuit of an unachievable net zero target, which he believes will only impoverish the most vulnerable in society and reduce the nation's productivity and prosperity.

A Call for Change from the Main Parties

The challenges faced by the country are severe and urgent. Edward asserts that politicians from the two main parties have long been arrogant, inept, and out of touch. Their blatant dishonesty and dismissal of the British public’s wishes have led to a widespread loss of trust. Edward believes that the public has been misled for far too long, and it is time to demand a change.

Reform UK: A Party of Common Sense

Reform UK is the only party offering common-sense policies based on the needs of the people, rather than pursuing virtue-signaling ideologies that hold no real meaning for the majority of British citizens. Edward Apostolides stands ready to bring about meaningful change and restore trust in political representation.
