West Suffolk Independent

West Suffolk Independents is a UK political party started in February 2013 by Simon Cole & Andrew Burton (Party Chairman) of Exning Suffolk. The party was created out of the necessity for independent councillors to stand
under a political party name in order to successfully challenge multi-seat wards. It has no manifesto or whip, just a code of conduct to abide by, it relies on the candidate to know their local issues and how best to solve them.
