Solana community lead challenges Nigel Farage in Clacton by-election on blockchain transparency

Stephen "Cap" Newnham, head of Superteam UK — the Solana blockchain community — is running against Nigel Farage in the Clacton by-election. His platform centres on pension reform and using onchain technology to bring transparency to public finances.
