If it walks like an Independent, talks like an Independent then why do we call them "Non-Party". Being non-party makes them sound boring because everyone loves to party don't they? Especially at this time of the year!
It seems unfair to me that Independents must be listed as "Non-party" on ballot papers. While in Labour I can have a lovely bright red rose next to my face, Independents don't get a logo and must be described as "Non-Party" and not Independent.
Shouldn't they be allowed to be described as Independent?
Independents had a Supreme Court victory recently when the Court ruled that the requirement for Independents to get 30 (15 for town councils) registered voters in the electoral area to propose them as a candidate was unfair and rightly so. If anyone wants to run then they should be allowed to do so.
Now is the time to remove the other injustice and let an Independent be an Independent.
