Background.
Many people in this country who are fed up with the two party political system and would like to be involved
in politics without the need to belong to one of the major parties.
Many
people who don’t vote (about 18m in 2001) would vote if there was an alternative to the three major parties. If
all those who failed to vote in 2001 (18M) voted
for independent candidates, there could be a majority of independent MPs.
