A moderate tory that is working with centre left ex-Labour members.
The three tories that broke off did so because they were so disgusted with the pandering to the far right the tory party was doing. A lot of tories are disgusted but still remain part of the party, at least these three had the backbone to leave and try something new.
I disagree with those tories on many things, practically all economic policy and austerity etc, but Britain is now dealing with a single issue and I can't be too damning on a group of people that got so sick of their parties being ambiguous on their Brexit stance and plan that they left to come out hard on remain.
The hatred in this thread for them is unbelievable sometimes, they are a pro-remain party. Yes there are many things to disagree and have criticisms over but there is a Zealot like nature to the shade thrown at them in this thread and some of you act just like the other side in reverse.
This is turning in to a rant now but imma keep on going: Also I am getting tired of the writing off of Tony Blair now, if you look at his most recent Sky News interview the man speaks sense. I get the Iraq war, and fully agree with the criticisms, but does that mean that he is now wrong about everything or that the centre left can have no good ideas?
I left the UK in 2015, met my Polish partner in New Zealand that year and lived in Poland from the end of 2015. I was unable to vote in the Ed Milliband Gen election, the Brexit Referendum and now these coming elections. I am now back in New Zealand with my partner desperately trying to get a working visa so we can actually live in a place where we can both have a life.
For me, Brexit is critically important, if worse goes to worse and there's no deal and the NZ plan fails we are fucked.
When I look at interviews/parliament with Corbyn, with Alaister Campbell, Blair, Brown, Soubry, Ummuna, Owen Jones, Theresa May, Farage, Lib Dems etc. The sensible answers and solutions and clear plans come from the centre left and the centre ground. I haven't got time to trust in Corbyn's "Magic" or what Labour may or may not do.
In that respect, despite the many faults and ghosts of the centre left and British centre ground - this is where the answers are coming from and I think the level of hatred Change UK get in this thread is childish and at times offensive and ultimately destructive.
After Brexit, my voting and support patterns will surely change, particularly if we avoid Brexit, but right now there is only one issue: Brexit.
End of Rant, apologies, that has been 3 years in the making.
