Yes there needs to be more political information available and more biographical information of each party member. However, I’m wondering if, given the current use of the Party whip system and the potential to face backlash if you do not vote as commanded, we should bother with MP names and just put the party name there instead.
I’m not belittling or being cruel.
the fact is that given the amount of pressure placed upon MP’s to vote in line with their party over their voters wishes, there is little room for MP’s to exert any form of autonomy whatsoever. So we could argue given the current system that the inverse of your policy sould also ring true, we may as well just put the parties. It is such a sad degredation of democracy.
If we were to render the party whip as a toothless enabler rather than a pernicious power guardian who enforces the parties demands at the “point of a gun” (Liz Truss quote) If we can argue for greater autonomy and making the MP answerable to their local constituents then I have a policy suggestion that you might like. Click on the latest. I just gave you my vote.
