Does the UK need another political party?The thing I look for in MPs is integrity. It's well known that some of these Labour people were unhappy that Jeremy Corbyn was elected as Leader by the Labour membership and having been working against him ever since. It's OK to disagree with the direction the Party has taken. Corbyn had many disagreements and voiced them when Blair was PM, and Kinnock and others. But he didn't walk out. He always supported his party for critical votes, although he disagreed with others. This group of people got themselves elected on the Labour manifesto. Same with the Conservatives. If they had integrity they would resign their seats and put themselves up for a by-election. They say they have support from their constituents. Then what are they afraid of? There is clear water between Labour and Conservatives. Lib Dems are in the middle. What else is a new Party going to achieve? And the views between 2 sides is likely to tear them apart. I can't see them ever agreeing on anything beyond Brexit and it looks like the goalposts are moving on that one, taking away the only issue they had.
