Louise Bours is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on December 23, 1968 in Congleton, England, United Kingdom. Louise Bours, also known as Louise van de Bours is a former Member to the European Parliament (MEP), for the North West England region. She was born 23 December 1968. In 2014, she was elected as a UK Independence Party candidate. However, she resigned 2018 and sat in the independent seat until the 2019 election.
She was UKIP’s candidate for the Police and Crime Commissioner elections in Cheshire Constabulary in 2012. She came fifth with 7.86%.
On 25 May 2014, Bours was elected as MEP for the North West England, replacing British National Party leader Nick Griffin. She has said that she wants to “shake off the BNP in blazers thing”, for UKIP and it has been claimed that she has teamed up with UKIP MEP Paul Nuttall in the north-west, which was “a particular cause of anger” within the party according to former UKIP members, who accused them of forming part of a “cosy cartel”.
As an MEP she served as UKIP health spokesperson, and came into opposition with former leader Nigel Farage on health issues; in particular Bours supports the principle of a free NHS, the English smoking ban and plain tobacco packaging, in opposition to Farage. However, Bours has opposed EU tax increases on electronic cigarettes, describing the proposals as “an act of sheer folly”. Bours also opposes the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership due to the impacts it would have on the NHS, saying in 2014 that: “TTIP is there for the benefit of one thing only — big business. I’ve got a message for Len McCluskey and Unite. UKIP will fight alongside you to ensure the NHS is excluded from this agreement.”
Bours was previously a Conservative councillor in Congleton borough, and on town councils. He was elected mayor of Congleton in 2006. After six months of non-attendance, Bours was disqualified from Congleton’s town council in January 2015. Bours’ overall voting record in the EU Parliament dropped from 43.09% to 22.6% despite receiving a PS80,000 salary through the European Union after the Brexit referendum. Only Paul Nuttall, a fellow UKIP MEP, and three other MEPs had a lower turnout overall in the European Parliament.
