The Protest Vote Party

The perfect political party one that doesnt want power....lol

Political Policy:-

In truth the party wouldn’t have any real political policies; therefore anyone with any view can vote or join the party.
The philosophy is simple the party is not gathering votes for itself but against the system.

If this party were lucky/unlucky enough to win any sort of electoral victory then the answer is simple they call an instant election with as many independents as possible as the party are not a power seeking party but a protest party in doing this they would effectively to some extent give the power back to the people

Aim:-

To give those that don't vote for whatever reason and those that vote for independents just to use there vote, a platform that at least acknowledges that these votes aren’t for the party but votes against the entire system of politics and law.

Reasoning:-

Currently there are 100's of thousands of people in this country that do not vote for one reason or another, many like myself refuse to vote out of protest at the system, unfortunately that refusal ends up in these votes going to the party in power, there are also another group that vote for independents again simply out of protest and not because they support the independent him/herself.

Now I’m no expert but I do believe that if someone with more knowledge than myself and like myself had no political allegiances, were to start a party like this it would begin the slow process of changing the system of politics and law we currently live under.
