Not sure, but I'd like to find out. If nothing else, we'd have more representatives acting like representatives rather than members of a party.

Considering the examples of Australia, Canada and the UK, that's not necc. true.

Most Speaker's over here tend to act in a, fairly, non-partisan way. There have been exceptions o/c.
The deputy speakers on the other hand...

I meant in terms of parliamentary loyalty

Oh. In which case it wouldn't affect anything at all. U.S Congressmen are far less likely to toe the party line than M.P's over here.
