I’m Philip Appleby and after waiting for years to see a space nation, the waiting is over. I am standing for Asgardia’s Parliament because the dream of a peaceful and populated space environment s my dream too.

I’ve seen the best and the worst of the human race. As a police officer in the United Kingdom I learned what bad people can do to other people. I was attacked by criminals and nearly died.

Instead of giving up, I entered politics – to try and create a society where these bad things do not happen. I have served as an elected representative of my local community and also served in public life in other ways, trying to improve the British political system.

Now, I want to join with fellow Asgardians to deliver the dream of a peaceful society together. I can help ensure we have secure systems which the criminals cannot break. I also know what a successful community needs – vision, hard work and good faith. I will bring all three to Asgardia’s Parliament.

I hope you will elect me.
