He said, “War has rules, mud wrestling has rules - politics has no rules”. Politics thus far has proven to be such a lawless jungle, if the debate on Independent Candidates is anything to go by. However, it is shallow to look at independent candidates without mentioning how confounded, dishevelled and dysfunctional our politics has been for a while. While there was a melee everywhere else, nominations for senate positions were unusually quiet. So it amazes in such a dumbfounding capacity when we are surprised by a clueless group of independent candidates who after calling themselves independent, walk right into an arena and launch an Alliance of Independent Candidates.
