Why vote independent?

Answer

When communities vote for independent candidates, they get representatives who answer only to voters, not party bosses or donors. Independents speak freely, work constructively with all sides, and vote based on what's best for their communities. They've proven effective at driving meaningful changes like establishing a federal anti-corruption commission, securing stronger climate action, and making Parliament more accountable and responsive.
