And there's the standard twee response from someone who doesn't take the time to think things through...
a) How when only 28% of the people vote is it considered a majority?..surely the 72% who don't are saying they don't want to choose from the offered selection, shouldn't they be offered an alternative until more than 50% vote? Even someone on trial is allowed to refuse some of his jurors, how come voters can't refuse the candidate selected by the party suits?
b) Even Ken Moss admitted on this forum that he had zero chance of being elected without aligning himself with a political party, and he approached the tories first, but was ignored
...now he's a dyed in the wool labour guy and boy has he started to toe the party line since his election despite any protestations he's made (or about to make
).
c) Independents unless they are well known and have money to burn for a campaign usually get around 5% of the protest vote
d) A fortune is spent on demographics and surveys...you won't find our Graham canvassing in safe areas, except for photo ops, he knows he has these votes, demographics and surveys..all paid for by the party...what chance would a little known airline pilot have against the party machine?
