2013 elections

As of latest elections in 2013 the council is now no overall control - think this should be updated. Xhavnak (talk) 09:48, 4 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Independent?

In the "structure" of the council is a graphic showing the break-down of the members on the council "Independent" appears twice. One with (9) and another with (1) Why?

In fact, the second group is marked (6), making a total of 15 independent councillors. The explanation for why they are split into two groups, and sit accordingly, is given in the text.

Of the independent councillors, nine (two of whom belong to the Island Independent Network, part of the Independent Network, a national umbrella group supporting independent councillors) sit in the "Alliance Group" with the Green Party and Our Island councillor, which forms the council's administration. Of the other six independent councillors, three sit together as the "Empowering Islanders" group and three (one of whom describes themselves as "Independent Socialist") do not form part of a group

FYI my sister lives on the IoW; I have nothing to do with the place.
