there will always be the 2 main parties brian
many others have tried to pretend of there independence when in fact they to were found out to be associated with one of the 2 main parties
so the answer is brian, nowr much will change

#1 Brian is a bit like screwing-up the piece of paper you will write your question upon, before you write it.
Not too dissimilar to the children's 'fortune-telling' toy, (Made by folding a sheet of paper and the opening and closing the folds a certain number of times and lifting a flap) or the back page picture of "Mad Magazine". (you know what I mean?)
Let us imagine that once you have screwed-up the paper, then written your query, you then unfold it and the 'right' question emerges.
"Politics IS people, are you Politics?"
[I have said all of this before, and I never tire/shall never tire, of saying it]
A bit like the EU, I shall keep putting the question until you give the 'correct' response. (Tickle) [Tong-in-cheek/Kent-Loves-Explanations]
1-Register to vote, and determine within yourself that you shall vote, and vote for a positive outcome, and don't be shy about it: At the next General Election.
[there is a '2' and a '3']
BUT...
Step one is a real game-changer. I can imagine (in the wildest of my dreams) that this one basic change, this one alteration to the self-regard of the enfranchised population, will reap rich reward...instantly.
It is absolutely NECESSARY for Democracy to flourish that it be based at the individual level.
[Gentle Warning:I have more to say on this one subject than I have on any other.]
Ignorance is bliss, bliss is happiness, I am happy...to draw your attention to the possible connectivity in the foregoing.

howard its just another group that will in time im sure show its colours in being close to one party or another.
just look in our own locality, even our forum!!!!
whilst the dover indies declared they were not part of a party(yet they registered as one) we also saw our very own david hannant become a conservative cllr
hardly independent.
so many other issues also around how independent were they, or will this new body be?
many other parties sprung up over the years, all to fade away
even the dover alliance party couldn't stand the pace and disbanded.
so i don't hold out much hope for changes in democracy
although thats not to say the 2 main parties have got it right

Brian, if we are all entitled to a fair opinion, then mine is the Fair Lady Britannia.

a listening democracy might work better.

No Brian, if I may. A speaking Democracy is best. We are, at present, allowed to make a noise and a fuss, shed tears and pull our hair out, but hardly a word we say has the least significance.

Doesn't seem to be boding well for the Governments here: there is an outcry for Democracy.
