We should not spend too much time considering the idea that loose whipping or, in some people's ideal world, the removal of political parties would somehow solve the Crisis of Representation, because that simply would not happen.

It went on to talk about, "a disinterest in the current institutionalised procedures of democracy and a Crisis in Representation".

We have a Scottish problem following in the aftermath of the referendum, a European problem with the anticipated referendum, a human rights problem, an English problem in terms of English votes and so on and a Crisis of Representation in a multi-party system.
