Rejected petition Fairness For Independent Candidates

More details

A debate on making it easy for independent candidates to be elected to the House of Commons. Many people are fed up with the major parties or never liked what stood for in the first place. The independent candidates often know what the majority of us want. It is virtually impossible to be elected without the backing of a major party.
