Browne was Conservative Party Member of Parliament for Winchester from 1979 to 1992.

He finished fourth behind the new official Conservative candidate, receiving less than 5% of the vote.

Browne subsequently stood as a "Conservative Rebel" in the 1993 Newbury by-election, then later joined the UK Independence Party and has stood unsuccessfully as a parliamentary candidate in Falmouth and Camborne and North Devon.
