With the way politics is going in the UK at the moment, it has left a lot of people like my self with a dilema for future elections/votes.
I can no longer vote for the same party that i have mostly supported, and at the moment there is'nt really any viable alternative to the two main parties.
So i was driving home tonight listening to the radio about the daily chaos thats going on in Westmisnter thinking how on earth are millions of people like my self going to vote if a general election was called in the near future and it got me thinking..
It would be more of a rebelion party against the current establishment for people who no longer have any confidence in the current set of MP's/Commons. I would call it something like "The Silent Rebelion Party"
Basically, the party would have no manifesto, it would have no political views so therfore neautral(not left or right), the entire purpose of the party would be a signal to Westminster to voice current public dissatisfaction in the whole political setup. It would also ensure people didnt "waste" their vote at the next election by not voting for anything, which normally helps the opposition. If any seats in parliment we're won it would refuse to take them(like Sinn Féin does). This is turn could hamper the next Govenment to form a majority if enough seats we're taken away.
Call it a cut your nose to spite your face way about things, but at the moment i am seriously pissed off about MP's being voted in by people on a party manifeso's then once they're in Parliment, just doing what ever the personally feel like. No matter which side of the fence you're on there there are MP's in that house who come from large leave area's who have done nothing but try and stop Brexit(Yvette Cooper for example) and others that come from heavy remain area's who have consistently voted to leave(Kate Hoey for example).
Entire thing stinks. Anyway, do you my theory on this type of party would have any following?
