Sir Paul Judge has set up a new "party" it is for all waifs and strays of politics who have no party. It is supposed to reflect a sense of independence, the ability of MP's to truly representing their constituents, not their party.
How laudable, however it is destined to fail, even if they took every seat, it would fail the nation. It was only during the Disraeli and Gladstone era that party politics as we know it really took shape.Prior to that there were loose affiliations, whigs, torys,liberals members would vote however they felt. Sounds great but of course it was only with a true party system that real reform of the nation took place. It takes a party system to get real change through. Therefore even if the public find toeing the party line uncomfortable, in reality it is in the best interests of a progressive democracy.
