There may be good people in them, and all the rest of it. But in itself, no party in the present House of Commons is worthy of the support of serious people in the electorate at large.
Brexit has now been "extended" into 2020, making a second referendum inevitable, if Article 50 is not simply revoked. Despite having been given a Second Reading comfortably, the Withdrawal Agreement Bill has itself been withdrawn in all but name. Having failed to deliver Brexit by 31st October, Boris Johnson ought already to have resigned by now. But, of course, he has not.
Over on the other side, we are now told that students would be "disenfranchised" if elections were held during the university vacations, and that there cannot be a General Election if it is "too dark", even though polling stations are already open until 10 o'clock. So much for the urgent need to "Get The Tories Out".
Another hung Parliament is coming, however, and we need our people to hold the balance of power in it. A new party is now in the process of registration. After nearly 30 years of suggestion, speculation, and even a sort of preparation, I will stand for Parliament here at North West Durham. The crowdfunding page is here, and buy the book here.
