Independent Ecology

Independent Ecology was a description used in British politics to denote a form of non-party affiliation. It was used to designate a green politician as was independent of any political party, particularly of the Ecology Party before its transformation into the Green Party.[1][2]

Since the Registration of Political Parties Act 1998 came into force, a candidate for election can no longer be described as an "Independent Ecology" on a ballot paper, as the 1998 Act prohibits any description which could cause confusion with a registered political party.[3] In practice, the description used is either the name of a registered party or the word "Independent".[4]
