Should political parties be banned?

Question

THIS WOULD SOLVE THE PARTY FUNDING PROBLEM - THEN - WITH TWO VOTES ON THE BALLOT PAPER - ONE FOR YOUR LOCAL M.P. OPEN TO ALL COMERS (WITH RESTRICTIONS) - AND ONE FOR PM OPEN TO ALL COMERS (WITH RESTRICTIONS) - WE COULD VOTE FOR "BOTH PEOPLE ON THEIR PROMISES AND WHETHER THEIR BELIEFS ARE ALIGNED WITH OURS OR NOT- NOT WITH SOME ANTIQUATED POLITICAL MOVEMENT.
THE CHOSEN P.M. COULD THEN APPOINT CABINET MEMBERS BASED ON ABILITY AND POLITICAL BELIEFS IN EACH AREA OF POLICY AND NOT BECAUSE OF GENERAL POLITICAL ALIGNMENT.
SURELY THIS WOULD GET THE BEST OUT OF INDIVIDUALS WHO STAND FOR OFFICE - EVERY HOUSE OF COMMONS VOTE WOULD BE A FREE VOTE AND THE "WHIP" SYSTEM WOULD DISAPPEAR OVERNIGHT.
THIS WOULD ELIMINATE MUCH OF THE "SLEAZE" IN POLITICAL LIFE TOGETHER WITH ANY PROSPECT OF A "HUNG PARLIAMENT" TOGETHER WITH AN END TO THE DEBATE OVER "PROPORTIONAL REPRESENTATION" AND WOULD RESULT IN A "GOVERNMENT OF THE PEOPLE", NOW AND FOREVER - WORKING FOR THE GOOD OF THE COUNTRY. IT SEEMS SO SIMPLE!!!!

Answer 1

George washington chose to have no party, but he is the only US President to make this claim.

If political parties were banned, it would actually increase voter confusion. People who think alike on several issues (or sometimes only a few) will always band together in support of whichever candidate thinks along the same lines. This is natural behavior.

Over time, political parties evolve. Some die out, new ones form. The Republican Party eveolved from a faction that split from the Democratic Party.

Some countries have hundreds of politcial partied. We have two main ones and a few "third parties" that throw in a candidate every now and then.

Even if every party was disbanded, in ten years or less, new ones (not nessesarily as powerful) would be formed.

Havinmg different parties doesn't mean you can't peacefully coexist. I tend to vote for one party and my wife tends to vote for another. We have a very happy and stable marriage.

Answer 3

I find politics very confusing, as I'm sure,many others do. Not sure how you would manage a country's affairs without political parties. I know a lot of people who just are not interested in the "Vote" and would rather the decision be taken out of thier hands- which means, at some point, we need spokesperson's. Jings, this is going round in a circle. Am I the only one who doesn't understand??

No political occasion is banned in the U. S.. particular events are banned in different international places, although. The Nazis are banned in many Europe, for obtrusive reasons, yet not banned here in the U. S.. the clarification events are not banned in the U. S. is that it may be incredibly elementary for the government to choose on who's and who isn't an extremist. additionally, it might desire to be that the government has replace into corrupt, and the 'extremist' occasion is unquestionably the gang that has the staggering suggestions. in case you look lower back at historic previous, you would be waiting to discover 0.33 events that developed right into a significant one. Please don't be lazy and do your study! Torg

People of like mind in the Parliament would still get together to vote and others would combine to oppose them. Some one would appear to organise each group. We would be back to square one. its human nature

An interesting proposition and along the lines of my thinking. Not exactly banning parties but rather electing a representaive who promises to support the majority view of their constituents on every issue.
How can everybody's views be taken into account?

Answer 8

I don't really get your suggestion

you might meant to have a federation.

But if you meant to banned all politicals, then the country, or the world would be chaotic, you will always have someone to incharge the suitiations, for example. you parents tells you what to do when you are very young

Answer 9

immediately,you should not surrender the right to self determination to anyone take responsibility for yourself if you need a master you are a slave.If you cannot organise the social with the people around you you have no society.If you surrender your right to justice you must let yourself be raped or robbed as any defence or retribution makes you the criminal.The alternative is to have your wealth taxed so you can be policed,represented(ha,ha)and have wars you don't believe in fought in your name with your money making you responsible for there actions(sorry wandering of the point)

Answer 10

hmmm maybe ban the amount of money spent under the table and above the table.
