What a state this country is in.
The way this group have formed and registered suggests to me that government is being privatised

[Stooo]

No surprise, good on them.

BLUKIP strikes.

Tory MP on TV saying there are 'many more. even ministers, close to leaving'....

Also the cancer inside the Tory party being termed 'Blue Momentum' by many.

Bungle's wetting himself...

What we are witnessing I hope is the rebirth of a centrist political movement.

Very exciting.

you're not kidding.

From what I know they have formed a shell holding party while they sort themselves out, they aren't a political party yet. I'm involved in #FBPE and have followed many of them for a while, the only funding that I've seen has been crowdfunded mainly by small individual donations rather than an individual donor which means that I'm one of them. This was before the breakaway so it's not a conflict of interest on my part.

E2A: I have only donated to pro Peoples Vote causes rather than party political issues.

There is a high probability they are going to end up in the Lib Dems...

...(hopefully without another name change - IndyLibDemCentToryLabs)...

...so why not at least acknowledge the people whose values you share?

I have done in the past but I don't know enough about the group to make a judgement. Of course I support their reasons and justifications but without any policies and as a member of an existing political party I can only cheer them on at this stage.

Not you - them.

To be clear, had they an ounce of integrity they would join or publicly ally themselves with the established 3rd (and officially centrist) party.
