Vote for Independence on May 4 2023
We love living in Brighton and Hove. But it’s clear that Our City is in trouble.
Things have got to change. And they can…
The May 2023 Local Elections are coming – and the Brighton & Hove Independents are ready.
Our goal is to improve the running of Brighton & Hove through the election of candidates
with the life and work experiences needed to manage Our City.
Unshackled from national party politics, independent councillors will work together –
and with any party councillor willing to join forces - to put Our City First.
We are Independents because we are not part of the traditional political parties –
and are offering a genuine alternative.
Our goal is to improve the running of Brighton & Hove through the election of candidates
with the life and work experiences needed to manage our city.

May 2023 Elections – Time for Change
The next elections in Brighton & Hove will be held in May 2023 when 54 people
will be voted-in as Councillors by the 290,000 of us who live here.
For the past 11 years Brighton & Hove has been run by the Greens or Labour
with ineffective, unconstructive Conservative opposition.
We all know how the system works: these people put the needs of their political parties first -
and those of the City and its resident second.
What’s more, many of these people are poorly qualified for the job:
they simply do what their parties tell them to.
They have failed so many people in so many different ways. So many bad decisions
guided by Party ideology. So many avoidable and self-made disasters.
Brighton & Hove Independents is a group of local people who are passionate about our city.
We offer an alternative to traditional political parties.
Our goal is to get local people elected in May 2023 who truly care about our city; who have
meaningful and relevant life and work experience; and who will always put the
needs of the people of Brighton & Hove before any political party.
We are The Change Your City Needs.

May 2023 Elections – Time for Change

We have lived and worked in Brighton & Hove for decades.
In our careers, we have successful track records of getting things done -
and want to use this experience and know-how to make the
right decisions for Brighton & Hove.
We are open-minded, honest, impartial, experienced, transparent,
practical, pragmatic and solution-oriented.
We are not aligned with dogmatic, ideologically driven national political parties.
We are The Change Our City Needs.

Our Candidates
GET INVOLVED
Now we are looking for more people with the skills our city needs to get back on track - and who are ready to stand up for the place that we all love.
The more independents that get elected, the more likely we are to achieve change.
Whether you are interested in standing for election or volunteering to work on the campaign behind the scenes, please get in touch.
Donate
We need funds to pay for our campaign (posters, leaflets etc).
The main political parties are funded by big business, trade unions and national pressure groups.
We will be funded by the people of Brighton & Hove who share our passion for the city – and despair at what is happening to it.
Please email us at bhindependents@gmail.com if you are able to help.
Register To Vote – and Then Vote
The population of our city is around 290,000 with about 204,000 registered to vote.
However, in 2019 only 42.45% of the 204,000 actually voted. That’s around 89,000 people.
It’s obvious why: they saw no viable alternatives to the traditional political dogfight.
But it’s easy to register to vote for us. And easy to register for a postal vote - so you don’t even have to leave the house.
