Lee Canning for Cardiff East in General Elections 2024

A Journey from Northern Ireland to Wales

Lee Canning, originally from Northern Ireland, moved to Wales at the age of 18 to pursue his studies. Now 40 years old, he has embraced Wales as his home, having lived there for more than half his life. Lee previously campaigned for the Conservative Party but has come to believe that the modern Conservative Party has failed to understand the essential changes needed for the country’s success.

Addressing Social and Moral Decline

Lee recognizes that society is currently experiencing an era of social and moral decline. He observes a troubling lack of respect within communities and emphasizes the importance of accountability for one’s actions. Lee believes that the trend of lenient punishments fosters reckless behavior and that without decisive action, this decline will only worsen. As a local business owner rather than a career politician, he brings a practical perspective to these pressing issues.

Committed Family Man

Married with two children, Lee cherishes spending quality time with his daughters. He embodies the role of a dedicated father, balancing work and family responsibilities while ensuring his children have the best opportunities for their future. Lee's commitment to his family reflects his values and his desire to foster a respectful and thriving community.
