Newspaper Editor thinks MBI need a name change...

Bob Evans, the Editor of the Morley Obtiser, offers an opinion on Quasi-Independence.

The big winner, both in town and city polls, was the Morley Borough Independents. They took both Morley North and South in the city elections and became the major player in the town elections.
Perhaps now it is time for the MBI to consider a change of party name.
The Collins English dictionary quotes independent as: "free from control in action; judgement" and "not dependent on anything else for function, validity, etc".
With the continued rise of the MBI, it would be hard to argue that it is now not a political party in its own right. Perhaps "The Morley Party" or "The Morley Alliance" would be more appropriate.

Bob, it is a party in its own right- see the electoral commission. Their accounts are online as well.

(They did it to get recognised status as a grouping on Leeds City Council).
