The doctor will see you now because today’s meet the candidate is Doktor Haze, pictured, who is standing as an independent in Brighton Kemptown.
The Argus (TA): What is the biggest single issue in the constituency you are standing in?
Doktor Haze (DH): To be honest I am not standing on local issues but national issues that will of course affect Brighton.
TA: Do you believe that Brexit can bring about a positive change to Sussex?
DH: I campaigned to stay in the EU and still stand by that.
However I am also a democrat and as the majority of UK votes voted to leave the EU I believe we should stand by that.
However I am sick of this talk of hard Brexit, soft Brexit or in the case of the Lib Dems no Brexit.
We need to forget the name calling and look for a fair Brexit. This should be fair to the citizens of the UK, for the foreign nationals who legitimately work, live and pay taxes in the UK, but also for British nationals working in the EU and it also needs to be fair to other EU member states.
TA: Who will win this election?
DH: The Tories but not by as big a majority as they think.
TA: Who is your political hero and why?
DH: Screaming Lord Sutch, a great inspiration and a great friend.
He may have had loony views but he encouraged young people to vote and campaigned for the voting age to be lowered.
He also got a lot of other people interested in politics even if they were of the strange kind. Most of all though he was a good bloke.
TA: What has been the best moment you have had out campaigning?
DH: This is my first attempt to be a MP so the best is yet to come. I will be in Preston Park with The Circus of Horrors on Saturday [June 3], these will be an outrageous election rock n roll party like never seen before.
TA: Is this election necessary considering we already have a majority Government that was due to run until 2020?
DH: Not really but Theresa May obviously saw an opportunity to increase her majority so a bit opportunist but can you blame her. It may however turn round and bite her on her bum.
TA: Can voters be confident that our current system is the best way to select a government?
DH: We had a referendum to change the way we voted about six years ago and people decided to vote for no change. If politicians worked together in more of a general coalition then a proportional representation system would have been better, but you can’t trust a politician unless they are called Doktor Haze and as we all know you can always trust a Doktor.
