Independent Politician
An independent politician or non-affiliated politician is a politician not affiliated with any political party or Bureaucracy, bureaucratic association. There are numerous reasons why someone may stand for office as an independent.

A convention, also known as a constitutional convention, is an codification (law), uncodified tradition that is followed by the institutions of a state. In some states, notably those Commonwealth of Nations, Commonwealth states that follow the Westminster system and whose political systems derive from Constitution of the United Kingdom, British constitutional law, most government functions are guided by constitutional convention rather than by a formal written constitution. In these states, actual distribution of power may be markedly different from those the formal constitutional documents describe. In particular, the formal constitution often confers wide discretionary powers on the head of state that, in practice, are used only on the advice of the head of government, and in some cases not at all.
