Affiliate Marketing Secrets

We’ve got the local elections coming up on May 5th and I haven’t a clue as to how local government/councils work. All the candidates on my ballot paper are affiliated to the main political parties. How does that work. Do they have to do what there respective party leaders tell them?

I understand there is data released on the “dumbest states,” the states with the best or worst high schools, etc.
America’s education has been on the decline, based on our Standardized Test Scores.
Does the government (or whoever reviews are data) take into account Religious Affiliated/Private schools?
Is all the ranking data solely based on public school?
Are the scores of kids from top Religious/Private schools dismissed?
For instance,I recall hearing (years ago) that Arizona was one of the dumbest states…but I am also aware that some of our nations best high schools reside there, or at least very prestigious ones…?
-perhaps im misinformed but please answer any that you can

I know that Independent person is not affiliated to any political party, so:
How was that party started?
What are its State issues?
Where it first happened?
How it happened?
Why it happened?
How it spread?
This is for a American Government project. thanks for your help.

even though they preach against belonging to or affiliating oneself to any government agency? Another reason I got out of the organization. They are frauds, liars and the worst hypocrites.http://www.un.org/dpi/ngosection/pdfs/wa…
See for yourself. Also, they have devised every rule, every do and don’t that is not from God but from themselves; stupid men who want to be in authority over others and love it when their followers are too stupid and lazy to properly think on their own.
