  • Indie culture, artistic creations outside the commercial mainstream
  • Independent politician

    An independent or nonpartisan politician is an individual politician not affiliated to any political party. There are numerous reasons why someone may stand for office as an independent.

  • Independents may support policies which are different from those of the major political parties.
  • In some parts of the world electors may have a tradition of electing independents, so standing for a political party is a disadvantage.
  • In some countries (including Russia) a political party can only be registered if it has a huge number of members in more than one region, but in certain regions only a minority of electors support the major parties.
  • In some countries (including Kuwait), political parties are unlawful and all candidates thus stand as independents.
  • Some independent politicians may be associated with a political party, perhaps as former members of it, or else have views that align with it, but choose not to stand in its name, or are unable to do so because the party in question has selected another candidate. Others may belong to or support a political party at the national level but believe they should not formally represent it (and thus be subject to its policies) at another level.

    Independents (artist group)

    The Independents were a group of modernist painters based in the New Hope, Pennsylvania, area of the United States during the early 1930s. They evolved out of The New Group (founded in 1930), a collection of artists dissatisfied with the hold that "conservative" Pennsylvania Impressionists had on local exhibitions.

    Members of the Independents included Peter Keenan, Robert Hogue, R.A.D. Miller, Charles Evans, Henry Baker, Ralston Crawford, Charles Frederic Ramsey, and Faye Swengel Badura.

    Sad Man

    by: Independents

    Mister Sadman sitting home all aloneNo one to talk to, no
    one to phone
    Crying out in your shame
    Sadman can you take the pain
    Why do you cry
    Mister Sadman
    Do you want to die
    Friends you had but now are gone
    You are left in a no man zone
    Cheated, schemed, happiness you decay
    Sadman you are left to pay
    Mister Sadman caught up in your lies
    Hatred now boils behind all eyes
    Self-esteem all you have lost
    Was your loneliness worth the cost
