Independents’ support – decide after election.
I disagree with Michael Keating’s view that democracy is best served by independents deciding which party they will support before the election. The minor parties and independents are seeking to represent their electorate and their ability to advance the policies they are promoting cannot be determined until after the election.
Their ability to be independent would be eroded if they had to decide which party to support before the election – and erode their independence.
