The Advantages of a Single Party State

1) All MPs would have the same rights.

2) All MPs would have more rights under this system.

3) The one-party constitution would be our constitution really, because if our political representatives do not have a right to free expression and the ability to dissent from the leadership, the people are not being properly represented.

4) Such a party can countenance any view and people holding a particular view, however unpopular, can still hold it even if they are in a minority and cannot have their way.

5) It will enable our MPs to vote according to their consciences, because under such a system all votes would be free votes.

6) In this constitution will be the condition that NO MEMBER OR GROUP OF MEMBERS CAN DEPRIVE ANOTHER MEMBER OF HIS POSITION AND MEMBERSHIP WITHOUT A PROPER HEARING, ALLOWING THE MEMBER PROPER LEGAL REPRESENTATION AND A PUBLICISED APPEAL.

7) There would no longer be any problems about party funding.
