Independents on the rise

To be sure, the next state election in March 2010, will continue the rise and rise of independents.
With both major parties on the nose (but good-news-Mike, Howard-like, can not see it coming.) There is no where else to go.
Just watch for example, former champion jockey Johnny Letts, run for Cheltenham as an independent. Watch out Jaye Wetherall!
