An excellent article (rare for the op-ed section of the Graun these days).....

Rather than the voting population at large being the main influencers for MPs's, it's increasingly niche cabals of party members that dictate the political agenda in this country....on both sides of the aisle...

How do we reassert the primacy of representative democracy over party democracy?

Go back to only MP's selecting party leaders in parliament :)

Yes Phillip Hammond and his undemocratic mob are doing a fine job of this
