The John Marek Independent Party (JMIP) is a political party in North Wales. It was formed in March 2003 by John Marek, who was deselected by Labour over his criticisms of its rightward march. It stood for the May 2003 elections to the National Assembly for Wales on a left-wing platform that included public ownership of the railways and greater powers for the Assembly. The media portrayed the JMIP as a real threat to Labour in North-East Wales.
The party stood in the constituencies of Wrexham and Clwyd South. The party also had a list in the North Wales region. Their candidates were:
Colin Jones (Second on the North Wales List, Anti-War Activist)
Marc Jones (Clwyd South, BBC Wales Director and Producer)
On May 1, 2003, Marek won Wrexham with 6,539 votes or 37.7% of the vote. Elsewhere they got 2,210 or 11.8% in Clwyd South and 11,008 or 6.3% on the North Wales list. It was the only minor party to retain its deposit in the regional lists and its constituency result compared favourably with other left-wing candidates.
