A wannabe MP who claimed he’s going to be using AI to revolutionise politics in the UK has already shocked voters by claiming he has “no policies.”

Harrogate solicitor Andrew Gray, an independent candidate standing in the upcoming Selby & Ainsty by-election, says he’ll be using an AI tool to try and figure out what people in his local area want the most.

He wrote on website LinkedIn: "I'm being powered by ethical AI. This is a first for a UK election.

“I have no policies! I am using an AI tool - which I have used for over 2 years in my non-profit - to listen to what people want and to find a consensus. If elected, I will vote in Parliament in accordance with the consensus. Simple.

“As a lawyer, it's natural for us to take client instructions and then act upon them.

“Then, as lawyers, we keep returning to our client to take more instructions, as the situation evolves. Surely representatives should do the same thing, no? Aren't the constituents the client?”

Andrew appeared to divide opinions, with comments under his LinkedIn post showing both praise and criticism.

“Love the concept ! Hope you get chance to put it into practice.. good luck,” one wrote.

But another said: “I want a leader of substance to lead us, I don’t want to be managed by AI.”

The hopeful politician previously revealed that he was planning on using the Polis AI to guide his policies by gathering information and then figuring out what people in his area want.

He told the York Press that he wanted to use data from his constituency to figure out what people in his area want: “I am running Polis AI conversations in every town and village in this massive constituency, as well as a cross-constituency Polis conversation about national issues. All the data, which is anonymous, will be released.

“If elected, I will vote in Parliament in accordance with the consensus of the constituency. On election, the conversations will continue, and I will vote in Parliament as per the changing desires of my electorate, which means that I can respond to change quickly.”

Selby & Ainsty, a constituency with around 78,000 voters, is set to have a by-election on July 20.
