To maintain the system it requires financial donations - big business for one and unions for another. The 2015 highlighted how difficult it is for small parties to make a breakthrough and how stupid the system is. UKIP 4 million votes and one MP, SNP 1.5 million votes and 56 MPs.<br />The country has been calling out for a genuine party that is free from big business and trade union bosses. <br />Getting out of the EU is a step in the right direction and then our parliament will be tested because they will once again become the legislators.<br />Stuff the Swiss, it is our flag and we can once again govern democratically. No objection to referendums but the EU referendum has proven how flawed the system can be.
