I think I’d rather a politician who voted with his conscience ...rather than simply towing the party line ..

Well parties exist so that like minded people gather and vote like-mindedly for the same broad objective because they support more or less the same principles.  Ukip wouldn't allow an EU cheerleader into Ukip.     If his 'conscience' is a Tory 'conscience' then he should wear the Tory rosette and campaign for Tory values in his seat.

Well personally I’d much rather ...and trust more....a politician who didn’t simply tow a party line , even when they disagreed with it .....than politicians who ditched their consciences in order to be seen as a faithful party member ....and thereby protect their job . In fact , wasn’t that what people liked about Corbyn .....I applaud that , I just don’t happen to agree with the things he stands for
