UKIP attacks restrictions on Councillors
UKIP today attacked restrictions on councillors set out in John Prescott's code of conduct. It has been used in Powys by unelected council officials to stop councillors representing their electors' interests.
A UKIP spokesman said: "This is another undemocratic restriction on our freedoms by this centralist Labour government. It makes a mockery of their so called new strategy of empowerment, champoined by the very government Department which imposed these restrictions.
"As a libertarian party, UKIP calls for the repeal of this undemocratic measure."
