wwwifabz How many seats will be won by Independents at The next UK General Election
Background: Two independent or minor party MPs were elected in the last (2005) UK general election: Peter Law (MP for Blaenau Gwent), who died on April 25, 2006, and Richard Taylor, for the Wyre Forest constituency). Dr Richard Taylor's election to Parliament is most notable for the fact that he is the only independent in recent times to have been re-elected for a second term. Since Peter Law's death, the by-election has yielded another independent MP - Dai Davies. News reporter Martin Bell was elected as an Independent MP for Tatton from 1997 to 2001 having stood on an anti-corruption platform.
Terry Waite could stand as an independent candidate at the next general election after blasting the two main parties amid the MPs’ expenses scandal.The former Beirut hostage launched a scathing attack on the political system as he branded Labour and the Tories 'moribund'.
Mr Waite, 69, said independent MPs had a vital role to play in helping to reform Parliament as public anger and outrage rises.
He admitted he could be part of the 'revolution' by joining the likes of Martin Bell and Esther Rantzen as maverick candidates
