The Independent Network (IN) is a non-profit, volunteer run organisation that promotes and supports independent candidates and non-party politicians.

Through a network of local volunteers, groups of independent candidates and Independent Network conveners the Independent Network supports people standing as independent candidates in elections. The Independent Network is building this site to be a one-stop shop for everyone interested in independent politics and a resource for those hoping to stand as independents.

We are supported by current independent politicians in Parliament and in Local Government. We are also supported by independent candidates and members of the public who no longer feel represented by the political parties.

Independent politicians are an impassioned alternative to the status quo and often make the most credible and effective local candidates. Instead of representing a party, independents represent their electorate which means you can trust them to work hard for you.
