Barnsley Independent Group is a British political party in Barnsley, England. The party was founded in January 2006 by a group of former Labour councillors on Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council. At that time they had seven councillors, and in the local elections that May they fielded 17 candidates. They have contested council elections since. The party leader is Phillip Birkinshaw, but there are no whips and membership is only open to councillors and candidates, which the party says is to prevent influence from being exerted in the background by a party structure or powerful individuals. All candidates pay their own expenses. More information...
