Politics of the United Kingdom Political parties Elections

The Kingston Independent Residents Group (KIRG) is a minor political party in the United Kingdom. Launched in 2017, it formed from a number of residents' groups in the area of Kingston upon Thames in southwest London.^[1] At the time, the group claimed to be "proudly founded by those of all political persuasions and none". Sitting councillors Mary Clark and David Fraser defected from the Conservative Party prior to the 2018 election. The party promotes a local agenda that seeks to give residents, towns and parishes a greater say in the future of their town. They currently have two seats on Kingston upon Thames London Borough Council and form the main opposition group alongside two independent councillors.
