Offer Voters: British Politics and Form Party

offer voters: Following the dramatic decision by eight Labour MPs and three Tories to split off from their parties less than a fortnight ago, the group believes it must be ready at the earliest opportunity to offer voters a new option on the centre ground of British politics, according to The Independent. The former Labour MP Chris Leslie said that the plans to form a party could not be delayed at a time when millions of voters were feeling increasingly disillusioned with the established parties. MPs from the group will open talks with the Electoral Commission on Tuesday to discuss what moves they must take to register as a party that can put up candidates nationwide if the current political turmoil over Brexit leads to a snap election. We can't leave the British public with a choice between Corbynism and Europhobia at a general election which means we have a duty to develop a serious alternative, he said. The commission requires a new party to provide information about its finances and constitution and to appoint people to the roles of party leader, treasurer and nominating officer. It has been hard but necessary to leave behind the broken political parties, but now we must get on with the urgent task of creating something new that the majority in the mainstream of British public opinion can support.
