		There may of course still be parties of significance, and even the new breed of independent MP may include a degree of loyalty to one or more of those parties (depending on issues) on his or her own platform.
		As MPs balance party, nation, constituency, constituents and conscience, it is sometimes said that party interests have the advantage of providing a counter-weight to the pork-barrel geographical parochialism which afflicts elected members in federal institutions such as the US (or, rather differently the EU).
