We're saved !  Fear not you lucky, lucky people, our cry for another centrist party looks like it's about to happen ! -------------------------------------- Extract from an article on MSN website (can't do the link at the moment) ChangeUK: Independent Group of MPs applies to form new political party The newly-created Independent Group of MPs has applied to form a new political party called ChangeUK-The Independent Group. The group said it has applied to be a political party in order to stand in European elections.MP Heidi Allen will be the group's interim leader until a permanent replacement can be chosen. The group has submitted an application to the Electoral Commission to establish Change UK-The Independent Group. The UK will have to stage elections to the European Parliament as a condition of any further delay to Brexit. They intend to sit as independent MPs occupying the centre ground of British Politics. In order to stand candidates in the European polls, conducted on a regional proportional representation system, any group must be registered as a political party with the European Commission. Ms Allen said: "Today marks a huge step forward on The Independent Group's journey to becoming a fully-fledged political party, so I am delighted to have been chosen as our interim leader. "If we are to deliver on our ambition to change politics for the better, it is vital that we attract support from people from every walk of life, every political background and none. TIG spokesman Chuka Umunna said ChangeUK would aim to put forward a "substantial" number of MEP candidates with backgrounds from outside politics. "There is clearly an appetite for an alternative to our broken politics which needs fundamental change, as shown by the disastrous Brexit process which has occurred under the watch of the two main parties," said Mr Umunna. ------------------------------------ I hope they get absolutely annihilated at any election they dare to take part in, particularly Umunna and Soubry ! |

Change.org will challenge them over the name
On another note the Leave Vote did what I expected it to:
Its shaken up British politics - UKIP are dead, mission accomplished
Labour are divided and in disarray
The Tories are squabbling and losing MPs
I also think leaving the EU will lead to a drop in right-wing nationalism
The major parties needed to be changed from top to bottom
All we need next is proportional representation so we can actually vote for who we believe in and then see them elected
The current parliamentary election system has seen the perpetuation of the two-party race and needs to die so that everyones voice can be heard and have a sense of agency
I see the coming years as making politics more inclusive to the young and disenfranchised
Neither Labour nor Conservatives would have ever chosen that as an option and it was in their best interests to ensure the status quo remained
Brexit will be seen as the fire that the Phoenix of British politics emerged from

They can share facilities with the LibDems. When the Libdems come out of the phone box TIG can go in and hold their party conference.

A party that wants to change politics for the good, born out of a desire to ignore and trample on the result of a democratic vote. Not a great start is it?

I can't think of anyone more smarmy than Chuckup or irritating than Soubry.
Hope they get slaughtered
