what would happen if they took control of the council somewhere?

bearing in mind they have no policies (please dont say they do, cos we all know they dont) except anti-immigration, and councils have no control over immigration. so how would they run the council?

Why do you need 'policies' to run a council?

Just fulfil your obligations in as efficient manner as possible. Job done.

I thought they already had a say in certain councils and have shown to make them more efficient.

Well round here, they are the only party opposed to HS2, whose proposed route goes through the constituency - so I'd expect plenty of opposition to that.

I`ve a feeling the general apathy displayed in this country may well be about to end. I hope so anyway.

^ The Youth are you sure because where I am looking from it's the establishment who is getting the kick up the arse !

I mean the youth need to wake up, not like we were when we were young. Maybe we were just driven by political bands.
Report MadVlad • May 23, 2014 10:09 PM BST
tbh I think the youth have voted,do i think they are right is another question.
Report sideshowbob • May 23, 2014 10:47 PM BST
i doubt that many of the youth have voted ukip. most ukip voters are probably white middle-aged football fans.
Report sideshowbob • May 23, 2014 10:47 PM BST
of which i am one. i didnt vote ukip, but i fit that stereotype i just made. so im not being insulting saying it.

There are or certainly have been in the past Councils run by 'Independents'

What policies do they have you may wonder as they are generally Councillors without any particular political affiliation

THe freality is that Party politics is really not that important in running Councils
