With the centre of the Tories now being much more to the right and the centre of Labour being much more to the left, Lib Dems not sure where they are except on Europe, UKIP – well, they can’t even get a new leader who can stick the job, and Greens tending towards Labour and with the major parties outdoing each other with spin, back stabbing and infighting – who do you vote for if you are a centre-left Tory or a centre-right Labour voter or Lib Dem Brexiteer or a disaffected Kipper or a non-left leaning Green or anyone else who doesn’t want to be button- holed?
Why, an independents, of course – who occupy the real centre ground by just doing what they believe is right by the communities they serve without allegiance to any of the parties and with no party whip!
Or, as Claire Wright would say: Free to speak, free to act.
