About us

The Northern Independence Party was founded in October 2020 to oppose the injustice of the worsening North/South Divide. Since then we have stood candidates across the North, tripled our vote in Liverpool, and shown we can fight for our fair share.

Our National Executive Committee is elected by our members. Our present senior leadership are:

  • Leader — Heather Oldfield Steenson
  • National Chair — Suzanne Clifton
  • National Treasurer — Nick Ferriter

… And our Nominating Officer is Sam Canaval.

Our members come from all walks of life: everyone who wants to make the North their home is a Northerner. We stand opposed to all forms of bigotry, including but not limited to racism, anti-semitism, Islamophobia, misogyny, ableism, homophobia, and transphobia.
