If it is any consolation the conservatives and other parties are and will face the same schisms. This might be the beginning of a major shakeup of british politics. Maybe the class divide is not the really pressing issue that it seemed to be in the past.
There are remainers in all parties and there are leavers in all parties, perhaps it would make more sense for the Remainers to all be in one party and all the Leavers in another.
Potentially at least there are those who want to pander to muslim votes by denouncing zionism in all parties just as there are those who want to pick up some jewish money by affirming their support for jewish interests like Israel. Perhaps it would make more sense for all the jihadis to be in one party and the zionists in another.
The one thing that never changes is that everything changes.
Nonsense -
Your opinion, but, I don't see any issues that you have mentioned that require the responses by these MP's.
The people have voted democratically to remove this country from the E.U, the parties to which these MP's belong had manifesto's stating that they will accept the result of what the people voted for,as such, those MP's stood for election on that basis, they are now gaining their MP's pay under 'false pretences', because they were elected as 'brand' MP's & not under 'independence' separate from any party.
As for 'anti - semitism', if people have evidence for it, it has to be dealt with under party rules or the law.
The question is, why would any party want to damage it's reputation on one of the biggest issues of the century?
We know why CORBYN is against Israel(wrongly in my view), that though, is a separate matter to being, 'allegedly' anti-semetic.
What critics of CORBYN have to understand is, the people kicked out of office, the 'Third Way' BLAIR-BROWN 'pro-business & always will be' 'centre ground of 'Labour' politics.
They did not want Thatcherism that BLAIR brought into Labour by abolishing Clause 4 & it's a widely popular policy to renationalise those utility companies.
This country does not need, or want, political 'convergence', a democracy has to have 'divergence' of political ideas & policies to function as a democracy.
That's why the 'Third Way' has failed the majority of the people in this country & abroad.
It's why 'populism' has taken hold, because the cosy political elitist conspiracy by politicians with their incestuous relationship with business, which is fundamentally corrupt, is destroying democracy in the West, it's no use condemning the PUTIN's of this world when the West has the 'TRUMP's that can outdo the 'competition'.
This is why Gordon BROWN's 'pro-business & always will be' mantra is toxic to our democracy & our freedom.
