I think what we need is a new political party that has only one mandate: that every candidate work for and vote for what they believe are the interests of their own constituents. If this means that half the party votes one way and half votes the other way, so be it. They have the freedom to form coalitions with one another or even with other parties, if appropriate. It would essentially be a party of loosely aligned independents, but with the organizational structure of a political party for better efficiency and national messaging.
