Researching Politics: Indepedent Politicians: Questions for Political Scientists.

Recently, I have been interested in the study of political parties and their ideologies, and I have been interested of how their resolutions would contribute to their supporters' needs and beliefs. Some of these political parties are based mostly on religious beliefs, others just base themselves on human rights.

So here is, what I researched.

I first searched the independent politicians, such as Ralph Nader, an attorney, author, lecturer, political activist, and four-time candidate for the President of the United States in 2004 and 2008. He also had a run as a green party candidate in 1996 and 2000.

I am seeing here, in wikipedia, yes, wikipedia, because I know no other sources of information and this is the one I use the most; in 1971 he co-founded the NGO Public Citizen, he spent most of his career in the 70's educating the majority of people about ecology, in 2007 he gave a speech on the anti-war protest in September.
He is also for gay-rights and he has a negative view on the DADT(Don't ask Don't Tell) policy.

However, as an anarchist, I don't think I need to support this man, but so far his views have been generally good.

On to the questions:

Question 1: What do indepedent politicians base their beliefs on?
Question 2: Is it usual for indepedant politicians to lean towards a political party if they identify with the general beliefs?
Question 3: What is the percentage of the american population that is independent?

P.S: I know that there are some criticisms towards Ralph Nader, such as he being part of the green party and be more worried about safety of driving instead of eco-friendly cars, and also him being a hypocrite and anti-female.
