Thread Name: BS: NON-Partisan political comments
Subject: RE: BS: NON-Partisan political comments
The point of my idea my idea is that the constituency would not be voting for the party, because parties would be precluded by 2.

The parliament would consist of one individual MP for each constituency, each of whom would be required to reflect the views of that constituency, and no other.

I suddenly realised that, in such a system, proportional representation would be impossible, as it is a party concept, meaningless without parties.

I can see that the choice of a cabinet, and prime minister would be difficult, and time consuming, but surely the "Sir Humphreys" could maintain status quo for a week or two.

In this situation, a vote of no confidence in an under-performing MP would make it possible to enforce adherence to the "constituency loyalty" principle.

Non partisan, apolitical, government! The way forward?
