THE United Kingdom is likely to soon have a growing centrist Independent Party which will fight for a Brexit extension and reasonable deal. Failing that, it could back the "People's Vote" for a second referendum.
In a significant turn of events, three Conservative MPs have quit their party to join the Independent Group. Another MP has resigned from Labour and is now a member of the group which has eleven MPs in Parliament. The MPs are likely to be closely aligned and potentially merged with eleven members of the Liberal Party.
