Biography
Martin is 52, a solicitor handling local business and property disputes in Winchester, England, and a parish councillor. His father ran a building firm; his mother worked in the NHS. Casework made him attached to predictable rules and sceptical of both ministerial improvisation and private power without recourse. He supports the union, parliamentary government and a market economy with public obligations. Planning disputes repeatedly force him to choose between protecting familiar places and making room for new households. He dislikes radical rupture and complacent preservation equally.
Worldview
One Nation conservatism; enterprise and property carry reciprocal public obligations.
