Semantics. If they're all independent, but under the same "banner", it amounts to much the same thing.

Can see a couple of Tories joining soon as well like Sarah Wollaston and Anna Soubry. There's 3 ex Labour MPs already sitting as independents so if they also join then this new party will be the 5th largest in the Commons equal with the DUP

I respect Luciana, I always have.

I'd have more respect if they all forced by elections and fought said by elections.
As for Chukka Ummuna, he couldn't cope with media intrusion before.

What we need is PR in elections.

Labour does have to really do more to eradicate this antisemitism issue.
Any elements of it are wholly wrong, anywhere in any Party.

These breakaways however seem to more want to stay in the EU, not leave at all.
They want a new vote.
Where an MP was murdered and a campaign that split the UK in two.
Who wants really, a repeat of that as these 7 appear to.

Tbh this country needs a new party to be in charge (that's not extreme obviously) as both of our main parties are a disaster and they know that they can continue to be this crap and even drive some of their MP's away because the public don't have the courage to back the Lib Dems or the Green Party (the only other parties that could get enough people to vote for them and aren't lunatic parties) but yes we are probably gonna have PM Corbyn one day and it's all because the Tory Party are even worse.

Good luck to this alternative party if it's real, if they actually have good policies that would unite people in this country again then people should give them a chance imo rather than just sticking with the incompetence of the other two.

Rant over.

I didn't know that trying to keep this country's finances stable was about winning or losing.

The Tory Party and Corbyn have both wanted Brexit, but don't know how to compromise with the EU so that we don't get severely knocked about by Brexit.

Rant over.

A new Party cannot gain electoral success on a big scale in this electoral system.
PR would assist it.

The Conservative party will never support PR.
Breakaways like this, will only ensure a likely majority Conservative government in power.
As it did in the 80s.

Apart from Luciana, I have little to no respect for the other 6.

Chukka Ummunna could have been leading Labour.
He withdrew as he couldn't take the media intrusion into him and his family.
I wonder how he'll cope now.

Force by elections and fight them.
The want a peoples vote, give their own constituents a vote right now, to see if they agree with them today.

I won't hold my breath on that one however.

Tbh it's borderline a dictatorship the way that this country is run sometimes.

I don't really know that much about the MP's that have left the Labour Party, but I definitely can't blame them for leaving the wreck that is the Labour Party at the moment.

Seven Labour MPs appear to have automated de-selection.
0 replies 0 retweets 9 likes



Its like thew SDP
all over again
with a Brexit twist


[LBC Reporter tweet:
This is the point most people miss. If the metric of success is displacing Labour or
even getting many MPs elected then this will fail. Their aim, instead, is to help destroy Corbynism.]
