Crossbencher.

A home for political free thinkers.

Crossbencher hosts named human argument beyond the party script: weekly debates, essays, conversations, live rooms and two daily games.

Why it exists

British politics still asks people to choose one place on a left-right line, then treats every other belief as part of the package. The labels have stopped describing how many people actually think.

Crossbencher separates four arguments that cross party boundaries. Contributors state where they stand, make a case under their own name and answer the strongest objection.

How it works

Writers own their arguments. Crossbencher arranges the debates, conversations and live rooms around them, then publishes each contribution under the name of the person who made it.
