I really feel like Politics is a platform that can’t be independent unlike Music and Journalists

It doesn’t make any sense for a social activity based on keeping the country in order and making all the choices in community to be done independenly especially in a two party system between democrats and fascists.

    depends on the country. here independents are just people who have split with the party they campaigned with, and they’re not eligible for re-election but allowed to stay the period for the sake of balancing the numbers.

        most of the world doesn’t have a “yes” party and a “no” party. if you agree on all but one point with your party, but you or them feel strongly about that point, leaving their ranks to join up with one of the other 10 parties that align with you more is a pretty simple decision. but since you can’t do that in the middle of a term you get to sit as independent until it’s up, otherwise the vote count is wrong.
