Ukip councillors will be 'independents on steroids'
Ukip councillors will be like ``independents on steroids'' who prioritise their residents' interests rather than their party's, its most senior councillor has told LGC.
Local councils have taken over the role of backbenchers, and this may be one of the reasons why so many MPs, over the years, have felt the need to look for different ways of voicing their opinion, among them by going public with their reservations on policies to be adopted by their own party, Josie Muscat told The Malta Independent on Sunday.
