A NEW political party aiming to fight for men’s rights is targeting the Warrington South seat in the next General Election.

The group - called Justice for Men and Boys (and the women who love them) - is aiming to put up 30 candidates at the next election.

Party founder Mike Buchanan, from Bath, said: “We intend to change the face of British politics and we plan to contest the Warrington South constituency along with 29 other Conservative marginals in the May 2015 general election.

“Men pay 72 per cent of the income tax paid in the UK, women only 28 per cent.

“Yet the interests and human rights of men have been ever more relentlessly assaulted by the state for the past 30 or more years, with sometimes catastrophic results for men, women, and children.

“The Conservative-led coalition has reneged on numerous pledges given before the 2010 general election to organisations fighting for men’s human rights, including the rights of fathers to be allowed reasonable access to their children after relationship breakdowns.

“Some attribute the change of direction by the Conservatives to the influence of Liberal Democrats, but the reality is that David Cameron has always been keen on anti-male and feminist-friendly policy directions.”

Mr Buchanan is a writer, publisher, and men’s human rights activist who has written a number of books about militant feminism.

He previously worked as a consultant for the Conservatives but resigned as a member when David Cameron announced plans for all-women shortlists in some constituencies for prospective MP candidates.

“All the major parties have been institutionally anti-male for many years,” Mr Buchanan added. “And it is for this reason that we formed our party. We’re aiming to put men’s human rights firmly on the political agenda.”

The party is appealing for someone who wants to stand as the Warrington South parliamentary candidate in the next election.
