Its only the last decade (less than) that they started promoting themselves aling party lines.

Demonstrably false. I was asked to run for Council by a party circa the year 2000. (I declined.)

I had friends and acquaintances run for Council - aligned with various parties - around the same time.

I stand corrected ... dickheads have been getting dickheads to align along party lines for decades.

Well ive only seen them actively promoting themselves for a political party more recently. Plenty of heads on on red and blue posters around now. Im sure most always had party preferences, but to me it seems more of a strategy now.

Even though one bunch were daft enough to forget to put in their nomination forms - something that's been required for decades even for "independent" candidates.
