Lack of party discipline just makes it hard to know what you're voting for. Voting would become about perceived personalities of the candidates rather than party manifestos. That's a problem because for all their faults, the amount of thought that goes into a party's political positions is usually higher than that which an individual puts into theirs. Parties are also a way to combine communication strength.
