Hampshire Independents is a minor localist party in Hampshire, England, based in Basingstoke in the north of the county. Founded in 2018 it has contested several local and parliamentary elections across Hampshire. It currently has no elected representatives.
History
Whilst founded in 2018, the party was launched in 2021 ahead of that year's local elections by former Hampshire UKIP chair Alan Stone, who had contested the Basingstoke seat in the 2019 General Election as an independent candidate after the Brexit Party stood down. [1] The party stood in districts across the county as well as for the county council election and the Police and Crime Commissioner Election. [2] For the 2021 Hampshire County Council election the party stood 24 candidates, with a total of 6,671 votes (1.6%), overall coming 7th. The party received 68,895 votes (13.07%) in the 2021 Police and Crime Commissioner Election, which also includes the Isle of Wight and unitary Portsmouth and Southampton districts.
The party has stood in subsequent elections, with most candidates in Basingstoke and Deane.
In the 2024 General Election, the party put 10 candidates up for election. Leader and Basingstoke candidate Alan Stone said: "We stand primarily for localism. All of our candidates come from all swathes of the political spectrum." [3]
