political party based in North West
Surrey and South West

Even before the 2004 campaign and the party's official formation, however, future party leader Michael Osman ran as an independent in the
2003 Woking Borough Council election, in the Maybury and Sheerwater ward, losing to incumbent Elizabeth Evans.
