Political parties should be banned. Political parties have no

Political parties should be banned. Political parties have no part in a democracy. We don't elect parties. We elect people.

The ultimate outcome of the long influence of parties on our system has apparently amounted only to preventing work from being done.

Elected public servants are afraid to acknowledge any good idea proposed by a person in a different party, even if they agree with the idea, and even if the people that elected them agree with the idea!

Political parties are not like sports teams. We don't have to feel obligated to stick by them and root for them no matter how sucky they get.

Every candidate should be considered individually, untainted by the stain of party affiliation.

Every idea should be considered for its merit, unpolluted by the stink of party origination.

Political parties should be banned.
