More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Any MPs?
No
Means fuck all then
If the conservative members were leaving the conservatives sure it wouldn't really mean much. And of course they actually are leaving, but Kemi isn't improving.
But labour are their members, labour members run everything because labour doesn't have a 1922 committee equivalent. So if enough members leave, particularly if they do it en mass, yeah it's a problem.
Your Party cannot have MPs yet.
As MPs they would be independents. Not your party members.
That is part of the point of your party. The leadership. when members vote one in. Cannot select MP. So they can only move with constituency your party member support.
So no until the party is fully set up. Supporting your party is all MPs can do.
Might mean a lot come voting time.
