Dennis Saunders

Dennis Saunders firmly believes in the traditional Conservative policies that were once the foundation of the Tory Party before it shifted to the left. He contends that the current Tory Party no longer embodies true conservative values. His dedication to these principles has guided his political career and decision-making.

Support for Sovereign European Nations

With years of experience living part-time in Greece, Dennis Saunders has long supported the idea of European nations maintaining their sovereignty with independent, elected parliaments. He opposes the concept of a United States of Europe governed by a central authority. In 2019, he ran as The Brexit Party's Prospective Parliamentary Candidate for South West Surrey. He withdrew his candidacy to prevent a split in the Conservative vote, which could have led to a coalition of Liberal Democrats, Labour, and the SNP reversing the Brexit referendum result.

He highlights pressing concerns such as inadequate repairs to potholes and the decline of Guildford High Street, advocating for urgent action to address these problems. Additionally, his personal experience with the Royal Surrey County Hospital, following the recent loss of his wife, has heightened his awareness of local healthcare issues.
