Want your politicians to actually represent you? Vote for the independents!
Keir Starmer’s style of leadership: “Do what I tell you, whether you like it or not!”
Have you noticed how Labour MPs who get pushed out of the party suddenly regain their ability to represent their constituents again?
Look – here’s Jeremy Corbyn:
Wonderful rally in Hastings this afternoon for May Day weekend!
The loudest chant was in support of refugees — workers will not be divided in the struggle for a better world. pic.twitter.com/Obca6Arbdu

And here’s Claudia Webbe:
You deserve fair wages; sick pay; reliable affordable transport; free childcare; affordable energy; debt free education; the right to food; a 4-day working week; paid bank holidays; free broadband and social care when you retire
These aren’t lefty ideals – These are your rights

Contrast them with this story of Keir Starmer, Labour’s leader, taking part in a football match against Scottish Labour – but only if his side won:
This is just embarrassing. Starmer is a milksop of a man, controlled by others higher up the political food chain.

The message is clear: if you’re a representative of the Labour Party under Keir Starmer, you do what Starmer wants – whether it is good for the electorate or not.
Get out of the Labour Party and you’re free to – well, to do your job!
Even when it comes to local elections, which kind of politician would you rather have?

Unfortunately not all independents are socialist, Mansfield Independents and Ashfield Independent Forum have always voted with the Tories. You need to actually know who you are voting for.
