Independent Conservative : ウィキペディア英語版 | Independent Conservative
Independent Conservative is a description which has been used in the United Kingdom, Canada, and elsewhere, to denote a political Conservative who lacks a formal affiliation to the party of that name. ==In the United Kingdom== As a description for use on the ballot paper, until 1999 anyone could stand at any British election as an Independent Conservative, but since the Registration of Political Parties Act 1998 came into force a candidate who is not officially certified by the British Conservative Party must either stand for another registered political party or as an Independent. However, the term is still used to designate a politician who either has left the Conservative Party or never joined it, so is independent of it, but who nevertheless identifies as a Conservative. Lord Robert Cecil was an Independent Conservative in the House of Commons between 1911 and 1923, after he won the 1911 by-election for Hitchin, Hertfordshire. At the 1945 general election, John Mackie and Daniel Lipson were both elected to the Commons as Independent Conservatives. Lord Stevens of Ludgate sat in the House of Lords as an Independent Conservative between 2004 and 2012. In the parliament of 2005–2010, there was one Member of Parliament who used the description. Derek Conway was elected as a Conservative but later had the whip withdrawn. Nadine Dorries was the most recent Member of the House of Commons to be so described. She was suspended from her party after starting to take part in the television competition I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! She has since regained the Conservative whip.
