About Tyler
A young voice for Milton, standing under the Confelicity Party — this is the story behind the campaign.l
Personal Story
Why Tyler is standing
Tyler Tobin grew up in Southend-on-Sea and has watched Milton change over the years — sometimes for the better, often without residents having much say in the process. That gap between decisions made in council chambers and the people those decisions actually affect is what pushed him to stand.
He describes himself as a young, enthusiastic and ambitious political thinker and activist, driven by a desire to reform and modernise governance — with a sharp focus on institutional transparency, accountability and efficiency, all in service of rebuilding public trust.
He's standing under the Confelicity Party — but he's kept the independent-minded approach he started with — no rigid party line, no distant whip, just a direct line of accountability to the people of Milton.
