Letter: In the party lists

Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Sir: I fully agree with John Bennett and Richard Bartle (letters, 26 May). The purpose of an election is to achieve representation of the people, not representation of parties. The purpose of reform should be to ensure that as many people as possible are represented by an identifiable member of their choice, not by a group of party placemen.

I shall mark my paper for the European election "Not for a Party List". I encourage others to do likewise.
