As Hampshire Independents are rumoured to be fielding candidates again I find it best to mention / remind people of this salient fact.

Hampshire Independents are not the same kind of independent - in that they are not independent at all. They are a political party (who came to existence due to arguments within UKIP forcing their leaders out)

I wish there was a proper way to get them renamed, but I doubt it.

Will add it to the Wiki once its confirmed that their members are running…

I took a look at the people standing down (highlighted red), and who the parties/groups had put up as their replacement candidate for that seat.

I wonder what the reasons behind those no longer wishing to stand are? Feels like quite a large lib dem turnover this year.

Disclaimer: Feel free to fact-check me, I could have made errors. 🙂

This website looks so fake, so many stock images, what a waste of server space.

I expect they’ll be back for the Hampshire County Council elections next year, thankfully no misleading names this year.

There are also some parish elections- hopefully all listed here but yell if I missed any!
