You make a valid point! Independent MPs often provide a voice for constituents who feel unrepresented by major parties. In a hung parliament, they can play a crucial role in ensuring that diverse perspectives are considered in decision-making. It also reflects the desire for more accountability and responsiveness from elected officials. Voters might prefer this form of representation as it encourages negotiation and compromise, which can lead to more balanced policies that meet the needs of a broader range of citizens. Ultimately, a hung parliament can challenge the status quo and stimulate more meaningful political discourse.
