Independent Conservative
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Independent Conservative is a description allowed in British politics to denote party affiliation. It is used to designate a politician is conservative, yet independent of any political party, particularly of the Conservative Party.
There is currently no Member of Parliament that uses the label. In the 2005–10 Parliament, there was one Member of Parliament that used the description; Derek Conway was elected as an MP for the Conservative Party, but had the whip withdrawn, forcing him to become an Independent Conservative.
Independent Conservative members of parliament have also been sitting in the Canadian House of Commons, with a similar designation.
