I have to say that Rotherham was for a very long time a Labour
stronghold and this is still reflected in the fact that all the Members of Parliament are Labour. There are the various constituency offices for the Labour Party. I am not sure what has
happened to the Tories over the years. They used to have a most excellent club but this is now something else. Neither the Tories or the Lib Dems seem to have much of a profile around
here. I've seen a few letter from UKIP supporters in the Advertiser but I do not have a contact address. If these last local elections (May 2007) are anything to go by apathy rules all
round. Where I live there was not one leaflet pushed through the door, not one canvasser on the doorstep, not one car with the tannoy blaring and as far as I remember no local meetings.
The candidates can't be bothered to electioneer and the electorate can't be bothered to vote.

There are two Independent Councillors on Rotherham Council in 2007 but I have no contact details for Independent organisations in Rotherham.

Sad to say the BNP (British National Party) has some degree of support around here. Oh I can see where they are coming from but I don't like the way they are going. There are some very reasonable and respectable people around here who are members and this must be a reflection of how the other political parties in Rotherham fail to represent the people of Rotherham. From May 2008 Rotherham has two BNP councillors. I can't see much of a 'Green' presence or a Monster Raving Loony. I've read some articles about UKIP in Rotherham but have no contact details.
