Independent Politician
An independent or non-partisan politician is a politician not affiliated with any political party or bureaucratic association. There are numerous reasons why someone may stand for office as an independent. Some politicians have political views that do not align with the platforms of any political party, and therefore choose not to affiliate with them. Some independent politicians may be associated with a party, perhaps as former members of it, or else have views that align with it, but choose not to stand in its name, or are unable to do so because the party in question has selected another candidate. Others may belong to or support a political party at the national level but believe they should not formally represent it (and thus be subject to its policies) at another level. In running for public office, independents sometimes choose to form a party or alliance with other independents, and may formally register their party or alliance. Even where the word "independent" is used, s ...

County Hall, Haverfordwest
The County Hall ( cy, Neuadd y Sir) is a municipal building on Freemens Way in Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire, Wales. It was built in 1999 and serves as the offices and meeting place of Pembrokeshire County Council. History An earlier Pembrokeshire County Council had existed from 1889 until 1974, when local government reorganisation abolished the administrative county of Pembrokeshire, splitting the area into two districts called Preseli (renamed Preseli Pembrokeshire in 1987) and South Pembrokeshire, both of which were within a new county of Dyfed. That first county council had met at Shire Hall, Haverfordwest, and from 1923 had its main administrative offices at a converted hospital on St Thomas's Green, Haverfordwest, called County Offices. Further local government reorganisation in 1996 abolished Dyfed County Council and its constituent districts. A unitary authority called Pembrokeshire was created covering the combined area of the abolished Preseli Pembrokeshire and South ...
