Bobbett ran in Ashbourne during June's local elections, where he received 154 votes. He is a teacher of physics, IT and mathematics, and his priorities this election are employment, immigration and affordable housing.

My motivation for participating in this election stems from a desire to provide an unfiltered platform for advocating equitable taxation, regulated immigration, and accessible housing. The predominant political parties have adopted a stance of elitism, straying from their foundational principles and responsibilities.

In my view the escalating cost of living and housing affordability represent the most significant challenges for a substantial portion of the workforce. An inadequate taxation system, coupled with minimal returns from government services, is imposing considerable strain on many families.

I would emphasise my commitment to serving the broader public, who seek a government that operates in their interest rather than diverting resources away from our nation. My focus will be on ensuring the provision of affordable housing and the execution of budget-conscious infrastructure projects, while actively preventing wasteful expenditures.
