Political scientist Jill Sheppard examines the viability of a proposal for Teal independents to form their own party. She explains that the benefits of being a new political party are largely financial, and says Teals have strong grassroots and community-focused appeal in their electorates and the MPs might struggle to listen to a single leader and agree to policy as a collective.
