I have been mulling over party names for those who don’t want to get locked into “factions”. Factions give strong incentives to think and vote as a bloc. I thought I had a name for a faction free party but I didn’t write it down.
I looked up “No Party” and found “The No Party Political Movement”. I think it is an offshoot of the British movement to vote no for staying in the EU. But it has a long list of things it wants to change. If it was truly a non-faction movement, it would put up questions rather than demands.
“Independent” is an appealing name, but it has been co-opted by political descendants of George Wallace. The “American Independence Party” claims it is the fast growing party in the U.S. This is because of the way California voter registration forms are designed. See “Are you an independent voter? You aren’t if you checked this box”.
