The Morley Borough Independents (MBI) are a local political party in Leeds, West Yorkshire, founded in 2004.
They had successfully coordinated the elections of two independent Morley North councillors in 2002 (Robert Finnigan) and 2003 (Thomas Leadley).
Finnigan had been a Labour councillor for Middleton ward from 1995 to 1999 and Leadley had stood as the Liberal Democrat candidate for Morley South in consecutive elections from 1988 to 1996.
[14][15] The party stood an official MBI candidate in Ardsley and Robin Hood ward for the first and only time in 2012 election.
Finnigan was re-elected as a councillor for Morley North after replacing Tom Leadley as the MBI candidate in the ward.
Dawson announced his retirement from the council ahead of the 2021 and Jane Senior went on to gain the final Morley South seat from Labour.
