He was also a candidate for the parties for a seat in the London area in every election for the European Parliament held in the UK, except for that held in 1989. As Chairman of the London Liberal Democrats, he supervised the headquarters' move to Brixton and streamlined its operations. (Source: Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Fryer)
