"Upwards of forty percent of American voters now self-identify as independent, with
the polling data sometimes reaching as high as fifty percent. Who are these growing
numbers of independents, what do they want, and how are they transforming the political
landscape in the United States? What is the connection between the volatile crisis
in US democracy and the steep rise of the independent voter? With no formal name,
no party affiliation and no common ideological doctrine, independents are determining
the outcome of major elections, shaping an agenda for nonpartisan reform, and challenging
the long-held categories and conclusions of political science. Drawing on historical
and contemporary data (including survey data, participant observation, interviews,
and current writings and scholarship), and providing timely new analysis, the authors
argue that independents are an engine for a significant transformation of US democracy.
They want to be free to vote for the person, not the party; they want fundamental
non-partisan fairness to govern the political process; and they do not equate bipartisanship
with non-partisanship"
