I suppose it depends on how you would define indpendant. But for me if you operate as political group,then you are clearly not independent.

Well Bernard I find myself agreeing with you, the only thing I want to add is that if their were no political affiliated parties in local government, Tory Labour, Lib/dem, then I feel sure the community would get a better deal. We have both been involved in politics for many years and whilst their is political point scoring going on all the time, its the GP that suffer in the long run. You know as well as I do that this DOES go on and we're all guilty of that
