This article reviews the role of independent candidates in contemporary democracy as in the preservation or renewal of partisan systems. As premise, there is a perception that the parties retain as far as possible a protectionist partisan system, or the so-called partidocracia, which is ultimately based on the monopoly of the candidacies and therefore on the representation and access to public power. The article shows that faced with this image of a corrupt and narrowly amalgamated political society, not only is there political indifference and electoral apathy, but also the figure of the non-partisan citizen, whose mission would be to displace corruption from the field of politics to parties and politicians alike. The text also analyzes how the image of independent candidates has been built as an alternative to the partisan oligarchy.Downloads
