A group of British lawmakers who quit the Conservative and Labour parties to form a centrist independent bloc in Parliament say they have begun the progress of forming a new political party.
Chuka Umunna says he and other members of the Independent Group are holding talks on Tuesday with elections regulator the Electoral Commission. He says "we aren't a political party but quite clearly there is an appetite for a new one, so we are here to discuss with them what that involves."
