David Kerr is the Chairman of Third Way (UK). He was born in Belfast and lives in the city's Shankill Road area. Kerr is the editor of Ulster Nation and an advocate of Ulster nationalism, which seeks to set up Northern Ireland as an independent state. A founder member of Third Way (UK), Kerr was previously a member of the British National Front, where he was a follower of the Political Soldier wing of the party. Kerr is the main force behind the Ulster Third Way, which acts as Northern Ireland arm of the Third Way, emphasising the independence question. As an NF member Kerr chaired the North Belfast Independent Unionist Association, where he first developed his ideas on the independence of the province.

In the United Kingdom general election, 2001 Kerr stood in the West Belfast constituency as a Third Way candidate but secured only 116 votes (a 0.3% share).

Kerr had also stood as a candidate in the European elections of 1994 under the title of 'Independent Ulster'. Somewhat oddly, given the peripheral nature of the independence position, Kerr was one of three candidates advocating this stance (Rev. Hugh Ross and Robert Mooney being the other two) and, as a result, suffered from a split vote to capture only 578 votes in what was a single Province-wide constituency. Despite their initial opposition, Kerr went on to appear on the candidate list for the Ulster Independence Movement in the 1998 elections to the Northern Ireland Assembly.

Most recently, in the 2005 general election, Kerr stood in the East Antrim constituency as a candidate for the Vote For Yourself Party, gaining 147 votes (0.5%). Kerr, who remains a Third Way member despite his candidature, claimed to be standing for the party as he endorsed their support for the use of refernda to decide policy.
