Australia's independent MPs represent diverse views, from progressive to conservative, but they share one crucial quality: they answer to their constituents, not party headquarters.
When parties control votes, democracy suffers. Party discipline means MPs vote along party lines rather than representing their community's interests. Independents break this mold.
- Makes corruption and bribery harder: Big companies no longer have a single giant party they can "donate" to in an effort to buy legislation
- Not about "left" or "right": We support all independent candidates, whether left or right, progressive or conservative
- More democratic representation: With independents, parties can't punish MPs for voting with their conscience and community values
Independence Alliance works towards funding independents, no matter their political views, to break power out of the hands of Labor and the Liberal-National Coalition.
