This gang of 7 will soon be forgotten and consigned into oblivion, and then ask to wriggle back into the Party post the Corbyn, McDonnell and Abbot Communist regime. However, I do hope these 7 (now) Independent MPs will do the honourable and decent thing and formerly give up their seat and seek re-election as Independent MPs - a natural progression as they've already resigned their Labour Party whip.
The Conservative Party had Michael Howard as their teflon-man; Chuka Umunna is the Labour Party equivalent just a bit thicker and more transparent. |

6 of the 7 have enormous majorities. surely their personal standing and reputation will ensure they sailed through any by election against some corbyn stooge ?

The fact that it needs us to tell them to hold by elections speaks volumes. They don't get it...

They know Corbyn and his poltical ideolgy would be a disaster for the country so they've done the honourable thing.

My bad, he'd need another 5, I'd counted himself as a disciple.

I'd be very surprised if more will resign their Labour Whip for the reasons stated so far - they are not Party resignation. These MPs are no Shirley Williams, Bill Rodgers, David Owen or Roy Jenkins who were all former Cabinet Ministers. And I must admit I do not even know (apart from one) their names until their resignations.
Another 3 it will be sufficient to form a mixed-sex mature football team. |

Very interesting now on Sky News about how relaxing membership rules has meant Labour mainly but also now the Conservatives have been hijacked by far left and far right new party members, meaning that it's impossible for anything other than a far left candidate to emerge, and in the future a far right leader of the Tories to emerge.
A new party is inevitable |
|
By:
Yeah a new election quashes the formation of a new party in the short term, you would think. But long term it's difficult to see a new party not emerging
|

By:
well i've been saying it for a while, Clydebank. It's what i want & it's what the country needs; but it has to have creedence, & at the moment it has none

The problem with many if not most people they are set in their ways and incapable of looking at new evidence and changing their minds. That's a challenge that a new party faces.

Soubry leaves? I called it! What a tipster. I'm the new moneytree. Politicstree :smugface: Except I get it right :P
Good riddance to her, don't know about the others but for many months it's like she's shown open contempt for the entire Tory party, not just a disagreement on Brexit. Extremely arrogant gobby woman who will LOVE even more limelight. |

I've always been a moderate Tory. I certainly don't have a party to vote for as things stand, but Corbyn politics will be an absolute disaster and lead to mass poverty for twenty years or more. All these Labour politicians saying it's better to seek change by working for change are talking bollox out of self interest in keeping their seats. It's nigh on impossible given the party is in the grip of a new far left membership, that live by an ideology that in practical terms is a complete disaster.
