If that's so why have Parties at all.
I agree legally they don't need to fight a by election.
I think however, anyone elected as a Party MP, who then leaves that Party.
The Party itself should be able to call a by election.
That's a change I'd like to see and fight for.

We elect Conservative or Labour governments.
Not Independents.

If they want to be independent why fight an election under a Party manifesto.

They asked the voters to elect them as Labour MPs.
Which the voters did.

If they no longer wish to remain the Party or Government MP.
Then they should first seek the support of the people who elected them.

Of course we elect Parties.
Imagine electing a government.
Who then has many of it's MPs deciding not to support that government anymore and leaving the Party.
That Party government would be in chaos.

They are screaming for a new EU vote.
Hold one themselves in by elections.

If. I stress if, then got elected again as independents, that could strengthen their argument for a new EU vote.

They won't, because they're cowards and know they'd lose the by elections probably.

Yes they will all get washed away
at the next General Election

It's a shame that long-standing members of the Labour party no longer recognise their party. It would be nice if lots of centrist MPs left their respective parties and formed a new one. Pie in the sky I know, but The Tories have bungled the whole Brexit thing, and we've got an old Soviet nostalgist running Labour. We need another choice.

I wanna know how they differ from the Lib Dems...?

I think the timing of this is no coincidence. While I think there are genuine issues when those with extreme views get control of a party, this has been ongoing with Labour for a while. I believe this is timed to try and get traction for an anti brexit result, so I am skeptical to say the least about their intentions.

In reality they don't.
However the Lib Dem label is still toxic too.

It's surprising how quiet Lib Dems have been so far.
I know they struggle to get on the media but really.

Maybe it is time for a new alignment.
However I still think and would campaign for, now full PR in elections.
Which would much more likely bring that about.

Removing the extremes of both sides of the political divide hopefully.

same as the democrats party here in my country, the arrogance from them and how they were literally almost crying last provincial elections here when they lost many voters :hehe:

(PVDA) dem was a biggest party here in the past, but now it's one of the weaker parties out of the longest running ones

Yes their Words on their site are
taken from Labour and Lib Dem Manifesto's

Labantibrexatives.

Good Fast One
TS

A decent, sensible centrist party separate from the century-long Labour / Conservative nonsense is something this country desperately needs, to be fair. Not sure that can be delivered by ex-Tories and Labourites, though.

Anna dragging May for getting into bed with the ERG just weeks after they voted no confidence in her :clap1:

[13:57

Could you rejoin the Conservative Party?
Soubry and Allen both say flatly "no". Wollaston doesn't answer the question but says
there was no effort made by the prime minister or whips office to keep her in the party.]

But will that Group
get bigger funding to become a Party?
Its very expensive

And if brexit happens
what will they become
dust?

the only thing that unites this group is opposition to brexit .... they are at different ends of the political spectrum in everything else. The way I see it, they have taken this action to go against the wishes of the electorate that they re supposed to be representing. It's not a good look.

Depends on the voting percentages for Brexit in their respective constituencies, I suppose, as at the end of the day an MP's only loyalty should be to their own voters and the best interests of their own constituency.
