Does anyone know if UK MP's are allowed to be democratic on a local level? What i mean by that is are they able to canvass opinion on each issue and represent what their constituents actually want. ie real representative democracy. The reason i ask is that i like the idea of independent MP's and and considering the possibility that a group of anticapitalist/ anarchists stand collectively in the local elections with a figurehead, who would enter into a legal agreement before hand that they would represent the views of the ashram/ social forum or whatever you wish to call a collective of residents. Is this possible within UK law?
It strikes me that posters to this site often argue that people would vote for a more radical anticapitalist MP but they are excluded from the system, i suggest that this would be a way (if legally possible) of working from within the system for change
