Much as I disagree with the way all these MPs have approached this, it may have a beneficial effect. Any MP that resigns from the party should stand down and be subject to re-election by the people that put them there in the first place. However, it may cause the 2 major parties to re-think their approach to the rapidly approaching disaster that is brexit. If it happens that we either do not leave the EU or we get a better deal, I would personally like to shake their hands and offer them my condolences for them losing their seats. I doubt very much that any of them have done this for altruistic reasons but maybe them falling on their swords is what is needed.

I did like Anna Soubry's comments about a right wing minority now running the Tory party. Shows that it is not just us 'left wingers' who believe this and gives credence to the contention that politics has shifted greatly to the right.
