Since the General Election, I have been conspicuously silent, observing, contemplating, and evaluating the Con-Dem Coalition with its inherent banana skins. But I could not hold my peace any longer as these were obvious gestures of ‘currying favour’ if ever…[the fortuitous and ironic pun is intentional] read on

Why Independents are essential for checks & balances in the English Parliament?
During this period of oxygen of publicity accorded only to the three, yes you’re
right, Political Parties by all the major media Machiavellian, it is acceptable for the respective leaders to feel on cloud 9 and pro-claim “Its two-horse race” – David Cameron or ” Its three-horse race” Nick Clegg [who got elected only because of the postal strike!] who has the Unions to thank and buy plenty of beer for his ill-gotten fortunes.
Having cleared that, please consider a ‘change in voting attitudes and strategies trying to keep the other Party out!‘
You’ll be inundated with analysis until you are eclectic-fatigued
Consider bringing some one who has considerable community governance contributions within the local community in which you and s/he lives and who could also be your next MP representing you directly into the English Parliament without
- party political fetters weighing MPs down against their better judgement
- party political lobby obligations contradicting one’s conscience
- obligations to any one other than you and your interests
- party whips or leaders, rather than you, dictating every word
- any ties
Election 2010: Can independent candidates change the political landscape?
Independents – what are these unknowns?
For me this is the third attempt. Why am I a sucker for emotional and economic punishment not to mention the sheer frustration of dealing with the endemic incompetence in the service delivery even of the Independent Organisations.
No wonder all the Independents bring diversity of consciences with the commitment, and their own money, to serve only you and not himself or herself.
For me this is going to be a multi-horse, conscience-led, righteous fight-to-the-finish akin to the ‘Mahabharata battle at Kurukshetra’ calculated to be between 1493 and 1443 BCE
I hope you understand my message. If not please ask. Thank you for being attentive thus far.

If not hung, do you want a ‘dung’ parliament?
A hung parliament would be \”damaging\” for Britain, David Cameron has said.
But another much earlier, wise and experienced Conservative view The next general election is \”very likely\” to produce a hung parliament, former deputy Prime Minister Lord Heseltine has said 31 October 2009
Lord Heseltine also said invading Iraq “was a terrible mistake”. He added: “I had
no time for Saddam Hussein, but in terms of the stability of the Middle East, Saddam Hussein had been an important ally in Western interests in stability.
“If you overturned him, which is what we then did, there was going to be instability in a country which he had ruled with a rod of iron, often very unacceptable ways, but once you take him out then the consequences are to be seen on the streets of Baghdad.
Guide to a Hung Parliament – and who is in charge?
Short and \’Tweet\’ on a hung Parliament
In short – we need to get away from Partite or Tripartite politics and think the unthinkable – a Parliament fit for the purpose – fit for the people and not fit for the parties.
To that end, I personally, would prefer the other possibility for the biggest party to form a minority government with no agreements with other parties and just try to form majorities in favour of each individual bill as it comes up. This would be acceptable to me in-line with the Jury Team’s manifesto of seeking referenda from the public on 5% of the electorate asking for a referendum on any issue that is important to them.
In some countries, instead of forming coalition governments, they have reached agreements with smaller parties that they will support the government if there is a vote in parliament aimed at bringing down the government and forcing an election. This could be expensive on the public purse and foolhardy without first seeking a change in electoral system to PR and or AV.
Countries which often operate with coalition cabinets include: the Nordic
countries, the Benelux countries, Austria, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Turkey, Israel, New Zealand, Kosovo, Pakistan, Kenya, and India. Switzerland has been ruled by a coalition of the four strongest parties in parliament from 1959 to 2008, called the “Magic Formula.” Even in the most populous, exemplarily democratic, diverse, digital and developing and dominating economies despite Global recession one of the political cartoonist represents the coalition UPA Govt as an obese MP or Minister sitting on the poor, down-trodden public.
However, having a truly representative electoral system with representative parliament reflecting the diversity and their opinions in the multi-ethnic Britain would be a refreshing and cleansing surge of oxygen along the dark, daylight-poor and devious corridors of English Parliament.

Finally, I am minded to mention this real life incident relayed by a renowned BBC reporter at the very first democratic election in South Africa. There in the given township the queue for voting was inordinately long and slow moving. Everybody was patiently waiting for his/her turn irrespective of the length of time s/he was in the queue. One heavily pregnant woman’s plight caught this reporter’s eye. When asked why she was eagerly and patiently waiting to vote, hungry, thirsty and tired, – she said, pointing to her unborn child, “I am going to vote for the future of my child so that he may never know what it was like not having this right to choose your government.”

You can Con some of the people some of the times…

Labour super-imposed Cameron's head on a photo of TV detective Gene Hunt, who is famous for his no-nonsense, politically incorrect style...
Con by changing logo, image, sleek-but-vague presentations…
but how does one suppress the unsuppressible, ingrained, inherent homophobia and other prejudices?
Is this one of the first, thus-far suppressed, springs, under the oppressive weight of party policies & whips, to ping-out to the chagrin of David Cameron?
See how they use Ashcroft & Union donations? Do you sincerely believe these ‘cowboys’ can be astute with your money?

The Labour Party secretary in Stoke-on-Trent to stand as an independent candidate
Labour secretary to stand against party in Stoke
That’s a stroke of encouragement to the Independents given that the long entrenched unrepresentative and manipulative system of political parties thrusting their favoured candidates into unrelated ‘winnable’ constituencies has come home to roost.
Good for Gary Elsby to have the strength of character and courage, without fear or favour, to speak up and stand up as the only locally domiciled candidate from and at great cost to the Labour Party.
A very warm welcome to Gary to see the world from under-the-skin as a local, representing and serving the local community in which he has lived.
Despite many other ‘winnable seats’ in the country following hasty departure of many MPs [who against the public anger are going to receive their £65K re-settlement allowances] I chose to stand in Milton Keynes North as I have been domiciled here only for the last 31 years.
As a part of my ‘Reform Commitment’ I would change this ‘candidate qualification’ to a requirement that each candidate in each constituency must be, besides a British citizen, a registered and established local domicile for at least 5 years.

Asian women set to make Westminster breakthrough?
Asian women set to make Westminster breakthrough
Whilst this is very good since the days of Dadabhai Naoroji 1892, the opportunities are created by the three political parties due to Independents like me standing in 2005 on the platform of equality, diversity, social inclusion, multi-ethnic British community being reflected in its Parliament and so on. These opportunities are somewhat tokenistic to encourage BAME communities to vote for one of the three parties.
The proof of the tokenism has been seen in Labours intake of female MPs and few ‘Asian’ MPs but Paramjit Dhanda got as far as Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government under one Hazel Blears. Due her ‘flippn” fraud and cabinet reshuffle Dhanda [Paramjit Dhanda is one of the 98 MPs who voted to keep their expense details secret] lost to Sadiq Khan.
Dr Ashok Kumar [who recently passed away] never got a cabinet post.
On the contrary, Obama, who never bragged about equality [of information, access and treatment] has left these ‘colonial’ con artists with the handicap of a whole generation.
Being an Independent with an ability to decide and vote according to my conscience [my Angustha Purusha] unaffected by party policies, whips and lobby interests, gives me, if nothing else, an enduring satisfaction in uncompromising and undiluted principled stand on equality, diversity, social inclusion, social trust in a representative English Parliament.
Female Politicians – a view-point by Janice Turner in The Times: “We muster no affection for our female politicians; we snipe if they are frumpy, think them uppity if they look too good. Unable to get beyond their gender, we are uneasy that we are there at all. In part, this is because a life of a woman MP looks so hard, hollow, shouty, and insincere. It has the sour armpitty odour of deals fudged in grey committee rooms; joyless 11:00 pm microwaved meals for one; the harried feel of always arriving at parents’ evenings in a last-minute lather. Considering the hours and pressure, being an MP is not even that well paid. Considering it is public service, it is almost thankless. It is not a life most women covet so we have trouble respecting those who would.”
