Stop Brexit campaigner Steve Bray has been officially selected as a general election candidate for the Liberal Democrats in Wales.
Bray, who some also say is really called Dave Allen, has become famous for appearing in the background of news broadcasts from outside Parliament holding placards opposing EU withdrawal, will stand in the Cynon Valley seat.
Jo Swinson said that Bray should be treated as a serious candidate :
“Our candidates are chosen by local and national parties, so the constituency will have chosen Steve as a candidate.
He is a Liberal Democrat member and he is a passionate campaigner.He has been well-known within the Remain cause more widely and I am sure he will bring that energy to the campaign here in Wales.”
I would respectfully say that I disagree and he is somebody who is true to his values and cares very deeply.
I think we do want to have our politicians care about the issues that they are addressing. I think Steve is an example of somebody who very clearly does just that.”
Mr Bray, 50, has gained the nickname “Mr Stop Brexit” for his behaviour outside the Commons on College Green. He has also been called ‘Drunk Steve’ by leave voters who accuse him of frequently being intoxicated outside Parliament.
