UKIP welcomes three more Councillors: an obvious choice
Three members of the Rutland Anti-Corruption Group of Councillors are today joining UKIP at a meeting with party leader Nigel Farage.
Councillors Richard Gale, David Richardson and Nick Wainwright will provide the official opposition on the County Council and are looking forward to moving forward in their new political home.
They said: “UKIP is the obvious choice, as it supports the same ideals as ourselves; those of honesty, integrity, openness and transparency, along with upholding the fundamental principles of democracy. UKIP also does not impose a whip, thus allowing Councillors to exercise their own judgement and vote in line with the wishes of their electorate.
“We believe, as does UKIP, that Local Government has to be returned to the people and must no longer rest with the bureaucrats, working too closely with Council Leaderships, bureaucrats who do nothing but use the tools of burdensome bureaucracy, created by them, to suit nothing more than their own agendas and interests and most certainly not those of the people.”
Nigel Farage said: “I am delighted to welcome such doughty campaigners into our ever expanding group of local government representatives. I have known Dave Richardson for a long time now and am pleased he feels that the fight against vested interested will be best seved by joining UKIP.”
The Councillors
Cllr Richard Gale, a businessman and now farmer, is one of the longest serving Councillors on Rutland Council, having served for 18 years.
Cllr David Richardson, an ex-serving RAF Officer and fighter pilot, has been a Councillor for 10 years.
Cllr Nick Wainwright, a Building Project Manager who has overseen such projects as the build of the British Embassy in Moscow, has been a Councillor for 6 years; formerly a member of the Conservative Cabinet before becoming disillusioned with the way in which the Conservatives were running Rutland Council in the presence of Conservatism.
