This book examines the phenomenon of the independent politician,
believed to be extinct in most political systems. It is very much
alive and well in Ireland, and has experienced a considerable
resurgence in recent years. Independents won a record number of
seats in 2016 and had three ministers appointed to cabinet. This
presence is very unusual from a comparative perspective, and there
are more independents in the Irish parliament than the combined
total in all other industrial democracies. The aim of this book is
to explain this anomaly, how and why independents can endure in a
democracy that is one of the oldest surviving in Europe and has
historically had one of the most stable party systems. -- .
