[arden forester]

I'm not sure that UKIP really supports local councillors. I may be wrong, but it all seems a bit of a lucky draw thing.

I remembered the win on Hull city council, so I Googled for it.

First, I got this - First UKIP council seat sends warning to Tories - Independent Online Edition > UK Politics

Then, I got this - Hull City Council : Local elections

But a further Google got me this - Disputed council faces prospect of election re-run | Society | Society Guardian

Whatever happened to Mr.John Cornforth? His original victory turned into spectacular defeat this year. Was he supported, or was he left to his own devices?

[prober]

Presumably there is a UKIP Councillors' Association which provides cross support etc .

[ANGLO-STAFFS]

I may be wrong but I do not think there is any official structured councillor/candidate support.
There hadn't used to be even when the membership was higher.

When I was searching for the UKIP district councillors I checked a Cllr Mike Baker. In the summer much was made of him defecting to UKIP from the Independents on North Norfolk District Council. I did not include him in the list as he is now/still listed as Ind' on NNDC councillors list.

Does this mean that he didn't defect?
Did defect but defected back again?
Is a member of UKIP but finds it a political liability to use the label?
Just finds it more comfortable not to use the UKIP name?
Non of the above?
