Anthony Steen
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Anthony David Steen (born 22 July 1939) is a politician in the United Kingdom. Since 1997 he has been Conservative Party Member of Parliament for Totnes in Devon, previously he was the MP for South Hams between 1983 and 1997, and the MP for Liverpool Wavertree, since February 1974.
A former lawyer he is seen as being on the left of the party, and backed Kenneth Clarke's leadership bids. In 2001, he was one of Mr. Clarke's most vocal supporters: denouncing the supporters of Iain Duncan Smith as bigots. He is, however, not as enthusiastic about the European Union and describes himself as a Europragmatist.
