Common Decency

Did you know that the Whips in the major parties in Parliament regularly force MPs to vote, not on their own moral principles, or according to the will of their constituents, but according to the Party Line? In any issue deemed of high importance to the Party's future, MPs are not allowed to vote for what they feel is right. They are routinely threatened with the withdrawal of privileges, and manipulated by 'carrots' of opportunities for promotion within the Party. We believe that Democracy is castrated right there. We want to abolish the Whip system. We want to see a Parliament which is no longer dominated by two or three major parties, so they can no longer force issues against the will of us, the people.
