Tiverton Town Council election success
UKIP Local Tiverton stood several candidates in the recent Local elections. We are pleased to say that we now have 5 Tiverton Town Councillors, making a large splash in the 20 seat Tiverton Town Council. This is an increase from 2 Councillors in the previous election.
Local Elections are not normally a place for national politics. However UKIP stands in these local elections for several reasons:
- The best place to hurt the other parties is in the Ballot Box. When they see any votes going to other parties, evasive action starts being taken, an they may even get the message that people really do want to get out of the EU
- It gives a presence. Having 5 Councillors on the Town Council means that we have 5 people who are known to the rest of the population, and are more likely to be supported in further elections.
- Practice makes perfect. There is an art to running elections, which is unlike anything else. Local elections test out the water for various policies, and provide one of the best opportunities to get to know the general public.
- It gives something to work towards. Reading the papers, day in, day out, seeing many of our freedoms being signed away, layers of tax and beaurecracy being imposed, and unnecessary security being tightened is quite disheartening. There are some things you can do to help, but in an election, this is really the time when things get going. With a good candidate, or candidates to get behind, an election is the place to tell polititians what you really think.
