I am feeling pretty fed up with all of the political parties, each one seems to be wanted to be just like all the other parties, moving around like a game of chess, with the pawns up front ready to be manoeuvred into whatever position is selected for them from the back line so they can be protected and are able to control the next move.
I propose a new common sense party should emerge that’s fundament aim was to apply common sense first.
If you could hand pick a leader who would it be?

I disagree minx ....we should do away with party politics altogether and every candidate should be allowed to stand on behalf of their constituents.
It is ridiculous that when there is something important to vote about in the commons the vote is dictated by the party.
MP`s should represent the constituents not the party.
I totally agree, but then would they all be independant from a party?
If so how would that work?

It is called democracy. :shock:
Can I suggest you all switch your allegiance to The Revolutionary Communist party ??
Technically there are no political parties in the commons,each M.P. is individually elected to represent their constituencies,this is why when one crosses the floor there is no statutary requirement for them to immediately stand for re-election under the banner of their new party.
In practice it is virtually impossible to formulate legislation without consensus, so in order to do this what were once informal groups of like-minded M.P.s have become increasingly rigid party M.P. is bound to follow the party line but withdrawing the whip can make their lives very difficult..so the party line is toed.
Yay - new party. Can it be fancy dress? Will we have vol au vonts and cadbury's Chocolate fingers?
Sorry - being frivolous again.
