Houghton Independents

Led by You and Me

Why Be Independent?

• 99% of people do not belong to political parties

• 
  

• Whilst other councillors' allegiances may lie first with their party and second with their community, an Independent will place interests of their community first.

• 
  

• Council needs Independent Scrutiny

• 
  

• Independent Candidates invariably have no party-political baggage

• 
  

• Independent Candidates consult you on key issues affecting your community 

• 
  

• Independent Candidates will listen to you and act in your interests - not tell you what’s good for you. That’s proper representation.

• 
  

• If elected as independent councillors, issues will be considered on their own merits and resulting votes will not be decided by party allegiance.

•   

• Arguably Party Politics has no place in Local Government.
