Martin Bell, Ken Livingstone and Richard Taylor (the doctor who
became an MP to save his local hospital) are the best known of a
growing band of British politicians making their mark outside the
traditional party system. Some (like Livingstone) have emerged from
within the old political system that let them down, others (Bell,
Taylor) have come into politics from outside in response to a
crisis of some kind, often in defence of a perceived threat to
their local town or district. Richard Berry traces this development
by case studies and interviews to test the theory that these are
not isolated cases, but part of a permanent trend in British
politics, a shift away from the party system in favour of
independent non-aligned representatives of the people.
